Good thing megaman come back

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)
