It had been two months since the
Zero Virus incident and I’d enjoyed the peace.
When I wasn’t slowly amassing an organization filled with some of the
lowest scum of the UnderNet with the purpose of helping stop any world crisis,
I was battling with friendly Navis and spending time in my Warehouse. I played through Battle Network and Network
Transmission just to see what’s supposed to happen without my intervention, and
was tempted to get knowledge of the future, but decided that would ruin the
fun. The first order of business was
watching MegaMan and friends become recognized city net battlers. I watched on with mild curiosity as they took
the simple test. I decided to take it
myself for fun. I had Lan cover as my
operator so unnecessary questions wouldn’t be asked. After we all received our Zlicense, Glyde had
sent a distress call to us. Yai had been
in the bath for too long and he was worried about her. Without any more prompting, everyone agreed
to go. I hitched a ride in Lan’s PET so
I could arrive on time for once.

Dex broke the door down when we didn’t
get any answer at the door and rushed in without a plan. Within five minutes Lan decided to also go
in, albeit with more caution than Dex.
We found him passed out surrounded by fumes. Lan jacked us in and we set about investigating
the problems with Yai’s ventilation system.
After snooping around and fixing most of the issues we encounted AirMan.
He seemed fairly weak so I let
MegaMan handle him on his own. The fight
was nothing memorable unfortunately. I
was hoping he’d surprise me after boasting that we couldn’t defeat him. Regardless we succeeded in saving Yai from
the dangerous gas AirMan was causing her vents to spew.

The next thing of note was the…camping
trip. I don’t know how Lan convinced me
it would be a good idea but I ended up inside his PET sharing space with
MegaMan. Everyone seemed to be busy
though, so we fought GutsMan for fun since Dex had to watch the house before
deciding on upgrading our ZLicenses to BLicenses. Before we did that MegaMan and I each had a
friendly battle with ToadMan, the Navi of a notable reporter. The test proved effortless to both MegaMan
and I and we easily received our BLicenses.
I opted to stay with Lan and MegaMan since everyone agreed to go camping
the next day.
True to form Lan wakes up late for
the camp and we rushed to catch the bus.
When we arrived at the campsite Chaud was there for some reason. I hadn’t thought he considered Lan a friend
but perhaps I was mistaken. There were a
few obstacles along the way, bees and a robotic bear, but we handled them
well. After everyone spent some time
relaxing and the operators starting eating without Chaud an explosion was heard
from the direction of the dam.

Once we reached the dam Chaud called
Lan and let him know what was going on.
We ran around like crazy looking for the bomb defusing program. After defusing some of the bombs our search
led us to QuickMan. He was the Navi
behind the bombs. When we were about to delete him he tried to trick us by
claiming that the bombs would go off even if we deleted him. ProtoMan saw through the lies and swooped in
to deliver the final blow.

Sometime after Lan had an urge to
travel to YumL for whatever reason and needed an ALicense to do so. To take the test MegaMan and I had to first
make ourselves known by completing requests from the official square. After helping people in need we passed the
test without any problems. We went to
YumLand and encountered CutMan, a Navi affiliated with Gospel, a criminal
organization. He was tasked with
eliminating survivors of an attack on YumLand and in my rage I ended up making
him suffer quite a bit before deleting him.
I left MegaMan and Lan shortly
afterwards. I was grateful that they
treated me like I was also a part of their team, but I had stopped doing what I
had set out to do in the first place.
Protect the world from the shadows.
I said my farewells and assured them that we’d meet again before going
back to roaming the Internet in search of clues.

My efforts proved to assist Lan and
MegaMan in an indirect way as I waged a mini war against Gospel. While MegaMan and Lan were fighting the
bosses I was lessening Gospel’s influence by thinning out their ranks. I unfortunately learned about their plan to
make the Ultimate Navi too late to do anything to stop it. But I did find out what they were using as a
base. It was the Navi I encountered
three months ago absorbing some of the Life Virus’ data. I heard about Lan’s adventures Netopia and
regretted not staying with him, but I knew that I wasn’t meant to be
there. I was impressed at the upgrade
MegaMan received from Lan’s father; the “Style Change”. It seemed like a very useful ability to
have. I met up with MegaMan in the
UnderNet and aided him in locating and defeating FreezeMan.

Just like the event 3 months ago,
Lan and MegaMan were at the epicenter of the events. Trouble really does seem to follow this kid. I decided to come with for what I saw to be
the final confrontation with Gospel. I
helped the two battle the Gospel Navis again and we made short work of them. I chose to keep the information I had found
out a secret, so it came as a shock to Lan and MegaMan when Bass showed up and
Gospel’s leader proclaimed him to be the ultimate Navi they were working
on. I was aware that it was nothing more
than a clone, but it still possessed impressive power. After working with MegaMan to take the clone
down Gospel’s leader did something insane.
He attempted to fuse the real world and the net together and succeeded
on a small scale. Lan and MegaMan
achieved something called Full Synchro, where their minds, hearts and perhaps
even their souls merge and are in perfect harmony. The fake Bass had
transformed into a giant dog like monster that we ended up referring to as
Gospel. I was confident I could take it
myself, but this isn’t my story. So I
left the finale up to the real heroes of this world.

When all is said and done, those
two can rise above all the odds and overcome anything. If I ever took the time to battle them I’m
sure at some point they’d surpass me. So
I chose to wait until I was sure they reached the peak of their power, and I
mine. Gospel was taken down, it’s leader
reformed and now a friend of Lan. These
two just love helping people reform. I
wandered the net some more as I always did after a major incident was resolved. I found a variety of Navis in various places
and defeated them all. I even got to
have a rematch with the real Bass when I found him destroying some of the
remaining clones. Suffice to say he had
gotten stronger in the past three months.
We fought to a standstill again and agreed to try and settle this
another time. With the Gospel incident
over my mind can’t help but wonder if the kid that commanded Gospel was being
manipulated. It was something to look
into at a later date however.
