Friends and Brothers
It's over. We've finally won. I know, sooner or later we'll have to go through it all again, but for the moment, there's peace. Why's everyone always out to get us, anyway? Or maybe they aren't, maybe we're just lucky enough to show up in the nick of time and save the day.
... It hurt. Back then, fighting the virus beast. When you called me Hub...
I'm not him anymore. Not completely, or maybe not at all. I don't want to believe that... but that's not what hurts most.
What hurt even more was that I had to correct you.
I want to be him more then anything. A selfish desire, to truly be your brother, but my deepest wish. I know it's impossible, Hub died, I'm just what's left of him.
Papa told me about when we were first alive, that we were the same person. Sometimes I wonder if we were Lan or Hub. Is Hub the one connecting both of us, turning into Lan and myself, or if you are the real one, and I'm just a part of you, destined to pulled farther and farther from you, first as Hub then into who I am now.
What if we stayed the same? And we could have been someone else entirely. Would he have died as well, or would he live on? Would his personality be like yours, or mine, some odd mixture of the two, or even something completely different? How would he treat his navi, not being bound to him like you are to me? (Not that I could imagine you being cruel to anyone.)
What would happen to the world? Hub was the only thing that kept me from deletion when we fought against WWW, and this time with Grave... Your own life was at stake. What would have happened if you hadn't reacted to me, if you had stayed asleep, unable to stop the virus beast's rampage? You would have died, just like me—Hub. I'm not dead.
What about that, huh? If you died, would Hub be waiting, and I would just cease to exist when deletion came? Or did Hub truly turn into me, when Papa created me from him? I guess, optimally, Hub and I exist at the same time, both fully alive. After all, I am part human, if only a small part, so could I really fade into nothingness once this frame falls apart?
I shouldn't be thinking of this. I should be celebrating our victory, just like everyone else, just like I am on the outside. But truly, when could I think about these things other then now? When it would be the most appropriate, I'm too busy fighting for our lives. And I do try to keep my mind from this at most times.
I guess your comment is still burning in whatever type of mind I have.
How I wish I could answer to Hub. I know I'm going in circles, but still, I think my biggest question is, am I still Hub?
I don't have any answer.
...I suppose it doesn't really matter. You're still my brother. In a separate world, and maybe not in truth, but in heart we'll always be brothers.
But you're more then my brother. You're my friend. And there's nothing that matters to me more.
Whether as Hub or Megaman, I'll always fight by your side.
Author's notes: Well, this is a semi-sequel to "I give you my heart", only in the fact that it's based off of BN2 and it's thoughts about Netto from those close to him. I don't think I did a good job portraying what I thought Rock- er, Megaman in this case, I guess (Sometimes I write with English names, sometimes Japanese, but I always think of them in their Japanese names)- was thinking about Lan, but I tried. . Anyway, I might've upload a different one, but my brother said which order I should upload them, so I did it that way. My and my brother are Gemini Spark, by the way, I'm Gemini White and he's Gemini Black. (Long story.)
