Megaman Battle Network
Chapter 1: Explosion!
The year is 20XX technology has now advanced farther than ever, thanks to this everything is handled through the use of devices called PET, this device allows people to search the Internet through the help of Network Navigators, or NetNavis for short. NetNavis can surf the web, they can be customize to their users liking; to the point they may even resemble them. One of the most common sports with NetNavis is through NetBattles a special kind of battle between Navis, unfortunately NetBattling has been classified as illegal for people under eighteen without a license leaving most NetBattlers, to fight illegally and in hiding.
Lately a wave of Net Terrorism attacks have been going on all around the Cyber World, the responsible for this attacks are known a WWW a Net Terrorist group that uses NetNavis to cause havock. Because of this, the lives of the people in DenTech City and most of the world are in danger, as the technology is threatened.
"Go Gutsman, we can beat him this time." Dex Oyama was cheering for his NetNavi Gutsman as he looked at the Net Arena in front of him, he was big and fat and had a rather tanned skin, his hair was pointy all around one point making the rest of his head bald, he was wearing a green shirt with a plus symbol on it and a pair of blue shorts.
"No dice Dex, you'll lose once more either way." Lan Hikari grinned as he rubbed his finger under his nose; he was a bit shorter than Des and obviously thinner. Lan was wearing an orange baggy jacket with a long sleeve shirt under it, he had a pair of black and orange shorts and orange shoes; he also had a blue headband with a red circle like symbol around his forehead, and a spiky brown hair. "Megaman, time to fight." Land held his PET up, which had two compartments, one of them was a screen where Lan could see his Netnavi, and the other had a laptop like keyboard, Lan was holding it through a handheld on the side. "Cannon."
"On it Lan." Megaman nodded from inside the NetArena, he looked like Lan in terms of face and body, difference was he was using a blue suit composed of a pair of blue gloves, blue boots and two yellow shoulder pats; and a blue helmet; Megaman also had green eyes unlike Lan's brown. He held out his right glove as it turned into a green cannon.
"Puny weakling, I'll crush you, Guts." Gutsman started charging forward, he was a big Netnavi, mostly metallic, he had a red armor around its chest with metal like arms, he was wearing two yellow knuckle gloves, a yellow helmet and yellow boots that looked like bricks, his body mostly resembled a giant gorilla. "Guts Tower." Gutsman took out a hammer as it hit the floor sending waves of energy towards Megaman.
"Hey Dex, wanna know what yours and Gutsman's weakness is." Lan suggested as he turned to look at Dex from the other side.
"Really, do tell." Dex said mockingly, since he thought he had the battle all figured out, letting Lan say his last words wouldn't hurt.
"You and Gutsman, attack on the same spot, not just that, but when you attack you can't move." Lan had a confident smile on his face. "Meaning, than you're wide open for a long range attack."
"Here goes." Megaman jumped over Gutsman's attack as he aimed at him with the Cannon. "Got the target locked, and fire." Megaman shot an orange bullet like beam from the cannon as it headed towards Gutsman.
"Defend yourself Gutsman!" Dex yelled alarmed, but it was futile as Gutsman was hit by the attack and jacked out. "I can't believe we lost again."
"Sorry Dex." Gutsman looked down from the screen in the PET.
"That's the third time, wow Megaman, either we're really good or Dex is really week." Lan started to laugh as he looked at Megaman who had gotten back into the PET. "I think it's the first one."
"I wouldn't be so confident Lan, plus, we shouldn't even be fighting in the school Arena." Megaman pointed out raising his finger.
"What do you mean by that?" Lan asked with a confused look as the door opened, a woman came in, she was wearing a blue dress with purple around her chest, a pair of long socks with brown shoes, she had a hairstyle that resembled two cinnamon buns. She looked mad, according to what her face showed.
"Lan, Dex, didn't I tell you not to NetBattle!" she yelled getting the two boys to jump from startlement.
"Well, yeah, but, we thought since we had nothing to do….he look a flying pig." Lan took his chance to run out of the room once Ms. Mari turned away. He stuck his tongue out at her. "See ya Ms. Mari." He laughed as he ran out of the school
"He may be gone, but you." Ms. Mari turned to face Dex, who had a scared look on his face.
"No fair." Dex whined. "Lan, I'll get you for this!" he yelled out of anger. Lan could hear his screen as he skated out of the school while laughing.
"That wasn't fun Lan," Megaman had a frown on his face as he glared at Lan. Megaman was especial in the sense, that unlike any NetNavi, even custom ones he resembled a human the most, to even be able to act and think against Lan's own will if it came to protecting him, or to the point of actually nagging him. "You're lucky it was just Ms. Mari, if the Net Police ever caught you NetBattling without a license…"
"It's boring Megaman, you have to be eighteen, that's not what we need especially with this WWW crap." Lan shook his head as he stopped for a sec. "Think about, how can we protect ourselves, if we don't train, see, it's a double standard."
"No, it's an excuse for breaking the rules," Megaman said again, with his angry tone.
"What do you know anyways?" Now it was Lan's turn to frown as he kept skating ahead.
"Another fight heh Lan." Lan turned around to look at the girl who was talking to him. Mayl was one of Lan's closest friends, since he's known her till they were little kids; Mayl had a neck long red hari with a pink and yellow hair clip on it, she was wearing a blue jacket with an aqua long sleeve shirt under it, she also had a medium height pink skirt, a pair of black long socks and a pair of red shoes.
"We didn't ask you, did we Mayl?" Lan had his hand behind his head as he looked up, trying to avoid eye contact, even though Mayl was his friend, she was well a pain in the butt sometimes. The two got along but most of the time they fought because of their differences.
"Got caught again." Mayl held out her PET to reveal her NetNavi Roll, she was a female NetNavi and had a pink suit around her body with long pink boots and pink gloves, just like Megaman she looked like Mayl in terms of face but her eyes were green and she had a machine like blond hair on the back of her head, the symbol on her chest resembled Mayl's hair clip, and two cable like rings on her head.
"Yes, I told him not to do it, but he did it anyways." Megaman sighed from exhaustation.
"It must be hard." Roll tried to comfort him.
"How come everyone takes his side?" Lan wined getting Mayl to slap him behind the head.
"Don't be so loud, maybe people will take your side, if you didn't get in trouble so much, with all the things happening at the moment we don't need another troublemaker." Mayl nagged, although Lan didn't hear half of what she said. "Are you even listening you jerk."
"Oh, yeah sure, let's go Megaman." Lan turned around as he started skating as fast as he could.
"Sometimes, I think I waste my time worrying." Mayl frowned as she turned around.
"Don't worry, I'm sure in the bottom of his heart he really appreciates you, he just hasn't noticed." Roll tried to comfort Mayl, but it didn't work since she was still raging on.
"Stupid Lan." Mayl stomped away in anger, ignoring anything and everything Roll said.
"I'm home mom." Lan got to his house as he went into the kitchen to say hi to his mom, she turned to him, she was wearing a purple shirt with a white line going along the middle, she had a gray skirt and a long brown hair; she looked at Lan with a caring smile.
"Welcome home Lan, how was school?" Mrs. Hikari asked as she looked at Lan.
"Fine nothing happened." Lan laughed nervously as he turned towards the stairs, but his mom stopped him.
"Not so fast, now Megaman, how was your day really like?" she asked the NetNavi getting Lan to glared at Megaman so that he wouldn't spill the beans.
"You know I can't lie to mom, we were caught having a NetBattle with Dex and Gutsman, nothing bad happened though." Megaman explained as Lan tried to control his anger towards him, his mom looked at the two of them.
"Lan, we already discussed this, you can't NetBattle without your license, I know is bad that you have to wait eight years, but you have to wait." Mrs. Hikari scolded with a serious look on her face as Lan sighed.
"Megaman I swear, if you weren't a NetNavi, I would so punch you." Lan muttered.
"What was that?" his mom asked making Lan raise his head to retire what he said.
"Nothing." Lan laughed as he looked at a nodding Megaman; oh how happy he was that everyone saw his reasoning more than Lan's. Lan turned to the kitchen counter as he noticed a compact disk. "The program dad was going to send me is here, awesome." Lan grabbed the disk.
"Wait, young man." Mrs. Hikari tried to stop him but Lan just threw his backpack on the floor as he ran straight to his room.
He closed the doors and went over to his desk as he opened his blue laptop. "Connect," Megaman put a cable from the PET and connected it to the laptop. "This is awesome, dad said this program will make us stronger, imagine, just imagine."
"What's it matter, we can't fight without a license." Megaman shrugged as he shook his head. "Dad…"
"Put a cork in it, what dad and mom don't know won't hurt them right." Megaman chuckled with a sinister tone as he installed the disk in the laptop and started typing on both the laptop and the PET's keyboard. "Once the upload is ready, you'll see."
"What if it's defected like the last one?" Megaman asked, his dad always sent them programs but most of them either didn't work right, or didn't even worked.
"It better not, I barely see him anymore, so he could at least compensate by giving me something useful." Lan frowned as he leaned on the chair.
"Lan, try to understand…" Lan stopped Megaman from talking.
"Just shut the hell up about that, what matters are that we become the strongest, so just get ready, because the uploading might take some hours." Lan pointed out as he got up from the chair. "Now, if you'll excuse me, dinner's ready for me, I'll bring you some."
"Lan…I can't eat." Megaman sighed.
***
"Time to spread the flames Mr. Match, we're counting on you." A man appeared on a dark screen as he looked down at the man that was in front. He had a long red hair clashed with a pointy red beard, he was wearing a long sleeve red shirt with a black sleeveless jacket, a pair of brown pants and black shoes, he also had a sinister grin on.
"Don't worry Lord Wily, everything will go smoothly," Mr. Match bowed as he turned around. "Today, there's gonna be a lot of fireworks." He chuckled evilly, a chuckle that was heard throughout the room as he walked away. "Right Fireman."
"Of course boss, we'll beat them." Mr. Match looked at his PET, his NetNavi had a torch like head which was lit, it had two cannon like arms and two legs that were enveloped around the red armor on its body, the crest on its chest had a flame on it. "We'll heat things up."
The next day…
"Oh, how I love a Saturday, the program must be ready." Lan got up from bed as he went over to his laptop to check on Megaman. "I wonder what changes it made, maybe a stronger armor, or enhanced speed." He tried to control his excitement, after all ,his dad did told him it would be a good program for Megaman.
"Morning Lan." Megaman waved from inside the laptop, he seemed…unchanged. "Why do you have that face?" Megaman asked, noticing his NetOp's face beginning to change to a frown.
"Dad's such a liar, you're no different from before!" Lan yelled falling off his chair and hitting his head with the floor, after he was doing seeing stars around his head he got up and looked at Megaman. "You don't feel different at all?" Lan asked.
"Not really, I do kinda feel smarter though." Megaman point out; in truth he really didn't feel anything, but didn't want Lan to blame his dad for it.
"Who cares about smart, that's it?" Lan took the disk out of the laptop and threw it into the garbage can. "That's the last time I ask dad to help us out, he only gives us cheap and malfunctioning programs." Lan frowned as he went to put on his clothes.
"Sometimes, you can be a real character Lan." Megaman sighed as the yellow square on his head started to beep. "Email?" Megaman clap his hand and a mail letter appeared on them as he opened them. "From Mayl."
"Whatever it is, tell her it's stupid and that I'm not doing it." Megaman responded from the bathroom as he got out all dressed up.
"No Lan, it's a help signal!" Megaman yelled in an alarmed tone. "To all NetNavis around the neighborhood, help we're trap in our house and it's on fire, smoke's too much." Lan immediately grabbed his PET and started running. "I thought you didn't care about what it was."
"I still can't let Mayl burn to death, she'll probably start to hunt me for not saving her." Lan had an alarmed tone on his voice as he got down and ran to the door. "Bye mom, I gotta save a life." He opened the door as he got out then slammed it shot.
Lan kept running for what seemed hours to him, the events of the previous day passing through his head; at this moment he wished he wasn't so bad with Mayl. "There it is." Lan's face got wide when he saw all the firemen trying to extinguish the fire on Mayl's house, and how all the people were gathering around to see what was happening. "We have to go in."
"Lan, it's too dangerous." Megaman warned when he looked at the face of his NetOp.
"I don't care, I'll go in anyways." Lan started skating at full speed ignoring any of the firemen who were warning him to stay out.
"You better stop kid." One of the fireman commanded.
"You better move out." Lan ducked for a moment as he jumped high in the air and managed to bust down the door and got in. He covered his mouth with his sleeves as he looked around the flaming building. "Mayl, you there!?" He called out.
"Lan, over here!" Mayl called out as Lan started following her voice. She was in the kitchen floor cover her mouth with a towel rag, the source of the fire just a meter away, the oven. "Lan, please." She coughed.
"I'll get you out." Lan reassured as he got in the kitchen. He tried to help Mayl up from the floor. "So what happened?"
"I was gonna take my mom's meat loaf out of the oven, when it blew up and knocked me out." Mayl started explaining. "When I woke up, the house was on fire already, I jacked Roll in to make fix things up."
"Get out," Lan said as he jacked his PET in one of the plugs. "Megaman, make sure things are okay."
"Lan, I can't leave you." Mayl protested but Lan just pushed her out of the kitchen, as soon as she got out some of the roof started to fall and covered the entrance of the kitchen. "Lan!" Mayl yelled. "My PET."
"Don't worry, I'll give her back to you when I'm done." Lan turned to look at her and wink one eye. "Now go." Mayl turned around and walked away trying her best not to turn back. "Okay Megaman, how do things look?"
***
Megaman gasped as he saw all the viruses that were eating the data from the oven's computer. "Mega Buster." Megaman held his arm up as it changed form and turned into a blaster. "Here goes." He started firing as he hit the Mettaur and flame viruses in a round of multiple shots.
"Obviously, we have to go in deeper, hurry up Megaman." Lan ordered as Megaman started running farther into the computer. He gasped again, this time he saw Roll on the floor, with burn marks all over her body as Fireman was standing ahead of her.
"Roll!" Megaman yelled as he held the Mega Buster up and started firing. Fireman saw his shots as he dodged them with great speed. He raised one of his cannons and fired a beam of flames.
"Megaman look out!" Lan warned but Megaman was hit with the flames and was thrown off his feet and sent back a few meters.
"Hah, you think you could defeat me with such weak aiming." Fireman started laughing as he raised his left arm and turned it into a fiery sword, then held it close to Roll's neck. "You were risking your life for this little girl here, how sweet."
"Let her go you bastard," Megaman got up from the floor and tried to keep his balance. "And get out of here."
"Megaman, don't do it, just go." Roll muttered but Fireman just shut her up by touching her lightly with his sword, which started to burn her neck.
"Gatling, Download!" Lan yelled as he slotted a Battle Chip into the PET. Megaman's right hand turned into a gatling gun as he started running and firing rounds of bullets. Fireman jumped away from Roll as he charged at Megaman and lashed at him with his sword, not only cutting him but burning him.
"Sorry kiddo, but I'm not in the mood to lose to some third class NetNavi." Fireman punched the ground with his right arm, and suddenly a giant wall of fire appeared. "Fire Toward."
"Area Steal, download." Lan put another chip in, this one increased Megaman's speed and allowed him to barely dodge the tower.
"We got other plans for you kids." Mr. Match's face appeared next to Fireman. "You'll be an example for people who want to mess with WWW.” He started laughing hysterically along with Fireman.
"So it's WWW who's behind this." Lan coughed as he felt the smoke getting to him. "Megaman, we have to save Roll and defeat them," Lan clenched his fist.
"But how, they're too strong." Megaman muttered while he was on the floor, after a few seconds he struggled to get up. "We can't win."
"Yes we can." Lan reassured him as a screen appeared next to Megaman with Lan across it. "If we try our best."
"Lan." Megaman smiled, suddenly his body was enveloped by a blue aura which started to increase. "What's this?" Megaman asked himself, along with everyone else.
Lan looked down at the screen of the PET. "Synchro program, that's the name of the program dad gave us, maybe it's finally taking effect." Lan pressed the Enter button on the keyboard of his PET as Megaman's blue mask covered his mouth.
"We're ready," they said at the same time as Megaman took off running at a great speed.
"No way he could be that fast." Fireman had a surprised look as Megaman appeared from behind him and kicked him in the back getting him to the floor. Fireman got up as he started firing rounds of fire bullets. Megaman just dodged them with ease.
"First, Recover 50." Lan put another Battle Chip in the PET as Megaman's HP went up. "Then, Area Steal and Air Shot." He grabbed two chips and slotted them in as Megaman charged again.
"Get him!" Mr. Match commanded.
"I can't." Fireman answered with hesitation as Megaman appeared in front of him and fired a shot of wind at him, sending him back.
"Time for the finishing blow, Sword download." Lan slotted the last chip he brought with him, since the rest where in his house as Megaman's hand turned into a blue sword.
"Bye bye." Megaman charged as he slashed and diced Fireman, after a second Fireman was cut in a cross like fashion.
"Jack out or you'll be deleted." What remained of Fireman disappeared along with the screen where Mr. Match was in.
"Roll you okay." Megaman ran back to Roll who was on the floor unconscious. "She's fine, I guess we showed them hah Lan."
"Yeah, we sure did." Lan looked at the oven as the fired ceased, but the one in the house still remained and the entrance was shut. "We have to…get…out." Lan toppled over to the ground as he hit it hard, after being in a kitchen full of smoke his body couldn't take it anymore.
***
"Lan, open up." Lan opened his eyes, he was in an ambulance bed with a blanket wrapped around his body, Mayl was looking at him. "You're awake, I thought you were…"
"Dead, almost." Lan pushed himself up while patting his head. "What happened?"
"The firemen managed to get in and get you out in time." Mayl nodded her head as she hugged Lan. "You could've died, why did you have to go out and be the hero."
"Well, I couldn't let you die either, you may be a nuisance but you're still my friend." Lan answered honestly.
"Aw…that's sweet." Megaman said from the PET which was right next to Lan. "Thanks for asking how I was." He had a frown on his face.
"Oh shut it you," Lan laughed as he turned to Mayl. "Well, I think you owe me one." He chuckled.
Mayl slapped him across the face getting him to drop to the ground. "Considering all the times I've bailed you out of trouble, you're not even close you jerk." She turned away.
"Guess things never change." Roll giggled.
"This is the last time I save someone." Lan whined while still on the floor.
"For some reason, I think it isn't." Megaman stated. "Because something tells me this isn't the last time we'll fight against WWW.”

"Time to spread the flames Mr. Match, we're counting on you." A man appeared on a dark screen as he looked down at the man that was in front. He had a long red hair clashed with a pointy red beard, he was wearing a long sleeve red shirt with a black sleeveless jacket, a pair of brown pants and black shoes, he also had a sinister grin on.
"Don't worry Lord Wily, everything will go smoothly," Mr. Match bowed as he turned around. "Today, there's gonna be a lot of fireworks." He chuckled evilly, a chuckle that was heard throughout the room as he walked away. "Right Fireman."
"Of course boss, we'll beat them." Mr. Match looked at his PET, his NetNavi had a torch like head which was lit, it had two cannon like arms and two legs that were enveloped around the red armor on its body, the crest on its chest had a flame on it. "We'll heat things up."
The next day…
"Oh, how I love a Saturday, the program must be ready." Lan got up from bed as he went over to his laptop to check on Megaman. "I wonder what changes it made, maybe a stronger armor, or enhanced speed." He tried to control his excitement, after all ,his dad did told him it would be a good program for Megaman.
"Morning Lan." Megaman waved from inside the laptop, he seemed…unchanged. "Why do you have that face?" Megaman asked, noticing his NetOp's face beginning to change to a frown.
"Dad's such a liar, you're no different from before!" Lan yelled falling off his chair and hitting his head with the floor, after he was doing seeing stars around his head he got up and looked at Megaman. "You don't feel different at all?" Lan asked.
"Not really, I do kinda feel smarter though." Megaman point out; in truth he really didn't feel anything, but didn't want Lan to blame his dad for it.
"Who cares about smart, that's it?" Lan took the disk out of the laptop and threw it into the garbage can. "That's the last time I ask dad to help us out, he only gives us cheap and malfunctioning programs." Lan frowned as he went to put on his clothes.
"Sometimes, you can be a real character Lan." Megaman sighed as the yellow square on his head started to beep. "Email?" Megaman clap his hand and a mail letter appeared on them as he opened them. "From Mayl."
"Whatever it is, tell her it's stupid and that I'm not doing it." Megaman responded from the bathroom as he got out all dressed up.
"No Lan, it's a help signal!" Megaman yelled in an alarmed tone. "To all NetNavis around the neighborhood, help we're trap in our house and it's on fire, smoke's too much." Lan immediately grabbed his PET and started running. "I thought you didn't care about what it was."
"I still can't let Mayl burn to death, she'll probably start to hunt me for not saving her." Lan had an alarmed tone on his voice as he got down and ran to the door. "Bye mom, I gotta save a life." He opened the door as he got out then slammed it shot.
Lan kept running for what seemed hours to him, the events of the previous day passing through his head; at this moment he wished he wasn't so bad with Mayl. "There it is." Lan's face got wide when he saw all the firemen trying to extinguish the fire on Mayl's house, and how all the people were gathering around to see what was happening. "We have to go in."
"Lan, it's too dangerous." Megaman warned when he looked at the face of his NetOp.
"I don't care, I'll go in anyways." Lan started skating at full speed ignoring any of the firemen who were warning him to stay out.
"You better stop kid." One of the fireman commanded.
"You better move out." Lan ducked for a moment as he jumped high in the air and managed to bust down the door and got in. He covered his mouth with his sleeves as he looked around the flaming building. "Mayl, you there!?" He called out.
"Lan, over here!" Mayl called out as Lan started following her voice. She was in the kitchen floor cover her mouth with a towel rag, the source of the fire just a meter away, the oven. "Lan, please." She coughed.
"I'll get you out." Lan reassured as he got in the kitchen. He tried to help Mayl up from the floor. "So what happened?"
"I was gonna take my mom's meat loaf out of the oven, when it blew up and knocked me out." Mayl started explaining. "When I woke up, the house was on fire already, I jacked Roll in to make fix things up."
"Get out," Lan said as he jacked his PET in one of the plugs. "Megaman, make sure things are okay."
"Lan, I can't leave you." Mayl protested but Lan just pushed her out of the kitchen, as soon as she got out some of the roof started to fall and covered the entrance of the kitchen. "Lan!" Mayl yelled. "My PET."
"Don't worry, I'll give her back to you when I'm done." Lan turned to look at her and wink one eye. "Now go." Mayl turned around and walked away trying her best not to turn back. "Okay Megaman, how do things look?"

Megaman gasped as he saw all the viruses that were eating the data from the oven's computer. "Mega Buster." Megaman held his arm up as it changed form and turned into a blaster. "Here goes." He started firing as he hit the Mettaur and flame viruses in a round of multiple shots.
"Obviously, we have to go in deeper, hurry up Megaman." Lan ordered as Megaman started running farther into the computer. He gasped again, this time he saw Roll on the floor, with burn marks all over her body as Fireman was standing ahead of her.
"Roll!" Megaman yelled as he held the Mega Buster up and started firing. Fireman saw his shots as he dodged them with great speed. He raised one of his cannons and fired a beam of flames.
"Megaman look out!" Lan warned but Megaman was hit with the flames and was thrown off his feet and sent back a few meters.
"Hah, you think you could defeat me with such weak aiming." Fireman started laughing as he raised his left arm and turned it into a fiery sword, then held it close to Roll's neck. "You were risking your life for this little girl here, how sweet."
"Let her go you bastard," Megaman got up from the floor and tried to keep his balance. "And get out of here."
"Megaman, don't do it, just go." Roll muttered but Fireman just shut her up by touching her lightly with his sword, which started to burn her neck.
"Gatling, Download!" Lan yelled as he slotted a Battle Chip into the PET. Megaman's right hand turned into a gatling gun as he started running and firing rounds of bullets. Fireman jumped away from Roll as he charged at Megaman and lashed at him with his sword, not only cutting him but burning him.
"Sorry kiddo, but I'm not in the mood to lose to some third class NetNavi." Fireman punched the ground with his right arm, and suddenly a giant wall of fire appeared. "Fire Toward."
"Area Steal, download." Lan put another chip in, this one increased Megaman's speed and allowed him to barely dodge the tower.
"We got other plans for you kids." Mr. Match's face appeared next to Fireman. "You'll be an example for people who want to mess with WWW.” He started laughing hysterically along with Fireman.
"So it's WWW who's behind this." Lan coughed as he felt the smoke getting to him. "Megaman, we have to save Roll and defeat them," Lan clenched his fist.
"But how, they're too strong." Megaman muttered while he was on the floor, after a few seconds he struggled to get up. "We can't win."
"Yes we can." Lan reassured him as a screen appeared next to Megaman with Lan across it. "If we try our best."
"Lan." Megaman smiled, suddenly his body was enveloped by a blue aura which started to increase. "What's this?" Megaman asked himself, along with everyone else.
Lan looked down at the screen of the PET. "Synchro program, that's the name of the program dad gave us, maybe it's finally taking effect." Lan pressed the Enter button on the keyboard of his PET as Megaman's blue mask covered his mouth.
"We're ready," they said at the same time as Megaman took off running at a great speed.
"No way he could be that fast." Fireman had a surprised look as Megaman appeared from behind him and kicked him in the back getting him to the floor. Fireman got up as he started firing rounds of fire bullets. Megaman just dodged them with ease.
"First, Recover 50." Lan put another Battle Chip in the PET as Megaman's HP went up. "Then, Area Steal and Air Shot." He grabbed two chips and slotted them in as Megaman charged again.
"Get him!" Mr. Match commanded.
"I can't." Fireman answered with hesitation as Megaman appeared in front of him and fired a shot of wind at him, sending him back.
"Time for the finishing blow, Sword download." Lan slotted the last chip he brought with him, since the rest where in his house as Megaman's hand turned into a blue sword.
"Bye bye." Megaman charged as he slashed and diced Fireman, after a second Fireman was cut in a cross like fashion.
"Jack out or you'll be deleted." What remained of Fireman disappeared along with the screen where Mr. Match was in.
"Roll you okay." Megaman ran back to Roll who was on the floor unconscious. "She's fine, I guess we showed them hah Lan."
"Yeah, we sure did." Lan looked at the oven as the fired ceased, but the one in the house still remained and the entrance was shut. "We have to…get…out." Lan toppled over to the ground as he hit it hard, after being in a kitchen full of smoke his body couldn't take it anymore.

"Lan, open up." Lan opened his eyes, he was in an ambulance bed with a blanket wrapped around his body, Mayl was looking at him. "You're awake, I thought you were…"
"Dead, almost." Lan pushed himself up while patting his head. "What happened?"
"The firemen managed to get in and get you out in time." Mayl nodded her head as she hugged Lan. "You could've died, why did you have to go out and be the hero."
"Well, I couldn't let you die either, you may be a nuisance but you're still my friend." Lan answered honestly.
"Aw…that's sweet." Megaman said from the PET which was right next to Lan. "Thanks for asking how I was." He had a frown on his face.
"Oh shut it you," Lan laughed as he turned to Mayl. "Well, I think you owe me one." He chuckled.
Mayl slapped him across the face getting him to drop to the ground. "Considering all the times I've bailed you out of trouble, you're not even close you jerk." She turned away.
"Guess things never change." Roll giggled.
"This is the last time I save someone." Lan whined while still on the floor.
"For some reason, I think it isn't." Megaman stated. "Because something tells me this isn't the last time we'll fight against WWW.”
