It’s only
been a month and trouble has already begun brewing. It feels like WWW and the Life Virus were
just defeated yesterday. But now there
have been reports of a “Zero Virus” infecting Navis and causing their functions
to encounter problems. As I was
investigating the net I was met with a sight to behold.

The area of the net I planned on searching had been set
ablaze. Encountering MegaMan who was
looking for Roll, we teamed up to get through the fire together. The culprit was FireMan, a Navi we both
thought had decided to lay low after WWW’s defeat. After we took him down, Mr. Match jacked him out,
and revealed that he lost control of FireMan after giving him a vaccine for the
Zero Virus. Lan’s father quickly
revealed that it must have been fake, as no real vaccine had been created yet.

With the source of the fire’s taken
out, I parted ways with MegaMan and Lan to do my own reconnaissance. I might as well stayed with them since we
both ended up finding the Navi responsible for dealing out the fake vaccines,
StarMan. Before we could confront him,
he ran away. We would have gone after
him, but Dex needed help subduing a rampaging GutsMan. It had seemed like the fake vaccine had
spread like wildfire. I offered MegaMan
my assistance in beating GutsMan without deleting him and together we easily
put an end to his rampage. GutsMan was
put back in Dex’s PET until a cure could be made.
With many
Navis being affected with the Zero Virus there were four different incidents to
deal with that day. NeddleMan, IceMan,
Brightman and QuickMan had all been infected by the fake vaccine. I accompanied MegaMan and Lan as they went to
deal with the problems being caused.
Together we made short work of the issues and helped the infected Navis
be brought back to their operators. Lan
and MegaMan retired for the night, and I took it upon myself to do some more
investigating.

Once morning arrived I went to let
them know about my findings, but got to Lan’s PC after they had left. Having nothing else to do I waited for them
to return. Once they were back they let
me know that they had encountered ColorMan and ElecMan, but gotten no
information of their own. To top it off,
MegaMan had been infected with the virus as well. Since the effects hadn’t manifested yet I suggested
we search the Zero Account while MegaMan was still himself.

The Zero Account was an abandoned
WWW sector that we discovered was used to make the Zero Virus. We had to fight SwordMan, GravityMan, StarMan
and even an infected ProtoMan while we searched for information. Encountering a mysterious data source file,
we decided to send it to Lan’s father and received a cure for the Virus as
well. The timing couldn’t have been
better too. Soon after, we found ourselves
face to face with the source of the Zero Virus, Zero.

Facing off against the source of
the virus wasn’t what I expected when we came to the Zero Account, but it
worked in our favor. Zero revealed that
while he was initially made as a virus, he had collected so much information
thanks to the Zero Virus that he had evolved into a being closer to a
NetNavi. While we didn’t want to end his
life after he found a sentience that could potentially be reasoned with, we had
no choice but to fight. Once he was
down, and the last blow needed to be delivered, ProtoMan arrived to do it
himself, and spare MegaMan the burden.
Luckily we found that data file earlier, and Lan’s father was able to
make a program that would turn Zero into a normal Navi.
The joy wasn’t meant to last as the
true mastermind behind this revealed himself.
The “Professor”, a follower of Dr. Wily’s that ended up sharing his
vision. Using the profits from the fake
vaccine he planned on reviving the Life Virus.
With this knowledge now known to the world, panic had spread. Even Lan was nervous, and questioned if he
and MegaMan had the power to beat the Life Virus without Hub.BAT. Dex came through and got Lan motivated to
take action once more. We set off for
the Undernet, but got caught in an auto-jump trap and ended up I SciLab.

Realizing that we needed an
AuthCode to get past the trap we searched the Legendary WWW area for
information and encountered PharaohMan.
He was guarding part of the data we needed, so MegaMan and I fought him
for it.

The next place we searched was the
now demolished WWW metroline. The data we
sought was under the protection of ShadowMan.
He was surprised to see MegaMan and I working together but he had a job
to do nevertheless. The fight wasn’t too
bad, although his clones almost gave us quite the challenge.
Music: https://youtu.be/FZakd6FxWOA
After getting the data to bypass
the trap we headed to the UnderNet after MegaMan and ProtoMan had a battle to
determine if Lan and MegaMan were ready.
They beat him and we were clear to go. Knowing the place well, I saved us a lot of
time looking and figured out where we needed to be. Unfortunately there was a firewall. It took more power that I would have thought
to break it, but we did in the end.
Unfortunately it brought out a ton of viruses. We couldn’t take them all on and still get to
the Life Virus.

Luckily we weren’t alone. In our time of need our friends came to take
on the viruses so we could go on ahead.
I was touched that they not only cared about Lan and MegaMan, but me as
well. I remembered that I probably wasn’t
supposed to be the star of the show and stayed behind to hold off the
viruses. I had faith in Lan and MegaMan. It wasn’t misplaced either as the two of them
came back victorious.

Zero helped the officials capture
the Professor before he could escape and everything went back to normal. Everyone congratulated Lan and MegaMan on a
job well done, and went back to their daily live soon after. Zero was allowed to explore the net under
supervision and I was even able to battle him one on one a few times. I considered taking one of his abilities, but
figured I could learn to do most of what he could with enough practice. Besides battling with the other Navis for fun
there’s nothing else to report. We’ve
managed to protect the net society yet again.
