"Lan, we're going to be late!" Maylu said in her white dress. She opened the door to find Lan wearing a suit, jumping up and down, trying to put his black sock on.

"Er...Hey Maylu." Lan said embarrassed. Maylu giggled.

"Lan! We're going to be late for the party!" Maylu shrugged.

"Yeah...I know." Lan replied. "We have to leave now." Lan was about to put his shoes on, and then he looked at Maylu, his mouth dropped open. His eyes glared at her, and he wouldn't dare blink.

"Wow Maylu...look at you. You look fantastic!" Lan said.

"Hehe...Why thank you Lan!" Maylu replied. Lan put his dress shoes on. His suit looked too big for him.
"Lan, what's wrong? You look like you just went through your dad's closet to wear something for the party!" Maylu laughed.

"Yeah...I guess I bought it a couple sizes too big." Lan replied.

"Try Four." Maylu laughed. Lan joined her. Then Lan walked next to Maylu, and Maylu grabbed his arm.

"Lets go now, Lan." Maylu said. They walked down the hall, down the stairs, and out the door without saying hi to Mrs. Hikari. Maylu didn't let go of his arm.

"Maylu...why are you holding my arm so tight?" Lan asked. His face was red.

"Lan...we're only allowed in as a couple. Remember?" Maylu replied.

"Oh...right." Lan said. They walked down the streets of ACDC Town, looking for the Metro Line. Suddenly, a boy about Lan's age walked by, and took a glimpse at Lan.

"So that's the famous Lan Hikari..." The boy thought. "Looks like I'll be deleting Megaman sooner then I thought."

Lan and Maylu had finally made it to Yai's party. They went inside the giant mansion. Yai only got the best from her parents.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Lan said.

"Yep! Yai told me it would look like this..." Maylu replied. Lan looked around, admiring the art pieces on the walls. Then he saw Chaud, sitting on the handrail next to the stairs. Lan was surprised.

"What's Chaud doing here!?" Lan asked.

"Hmm...Weird. I though Yai hated Chaud. Why did she invite him?" Maylu wondered.

"Maybe she didn't." Lan said angrily. Lan and Chaud had been Net Rivals since they both could remember. Chaud was cocky, and Lan always responded to that angrily. He walked up to Chaud.

"What are you doing here Chaud!?" Lan asked.

"I knew you'd be here Lan..." Chaud said.

"Why are YOU here?" Lan asked again.

"I decided to...invite myself." Chaud lied. Lan took out his PET.

"You shouldn't be here! I challenge Protoman to a Net Battle!" Lan said. Chaud laughed.

"You'd only lose to me. A third-rank Net Battler like you should never challenge me. I accept."

"Grr..." Lan coughed out. He found an Air Conditioning Unit, and Jacked in. "Megaman, Jack in! Execute!" With that, he plugged his PET in. Chaud did the same.

"Protoman, Jack in! Execute!"

"Why, hello there Megaman." Protoman said coolly.

"Hey Protoman." Megaman replied. "I guess Chaud and Lan got into another fight."

"I guess so." Protoman replied. "Let's do this." Megaman nodded.

Lan took out three mini boomer chips.

"Mini Boomer, Download!" He inserted the three chips into his PET. Chaud took out one Long Blade chip.

"Long Blade, Download!" Chaud inserted his chip.

Instantly, a pack of Mini Boomer bombs appeared on Megaman's back. Megaman took out two, and held one in each hand. Protoman's left hand turned into a Long Blade. Protoman dashed at Megaman.

"You're going to lose this battle, kid." Protoman said.

"Hmph! Try me!" Megaman replied. He threw a mini boomer at Protoman. Smoke appeared all around Protoman. Megaman couldn't see him. Soon, the smoke cleared up, and Megaman spotted Protoman jumping out of the smoke. He landed in front of Megaman, and slashed at him with his Long Blade. Megaman yelled out in pain, and then shook it off. Mini Boomers aren't going to do the on Megaman! I need a chip to help you..." Lan thought to himself. What chip to download? He searched his Chip Folder, and finally found something that could be effective: A Cannon.

"Cannon, Download!" Lan inserted the Cannon Chip.

Instantly, Megaman's Left hand became a green Cannon. Megaman started shooting at Protoman, but he was way too fast.

"There's no way you can beat me with those lousy chips, Megaman!" Protoman shouted.

"We'll see Protoman..." Megaman replied. Megaman shot a couple more times, missing Protoman.

"Darn it..." Megaman said.

"Protoman, it's time to delete this third-rank Net Battler!" Chaud shouted to his Pet. Protoman nodded. Chaud took out a rare chip. It was hard to see what it was.

"Red Sun, Download!" Chaud shouted.

Protoman became filled with a huge powerful energy. Megaman shot Protoman again, and Protoman quickly dodged. Protoman appeared behind Megaman, and then commanded his chip to take action.

"Red Sun!" Protoman roared. With that, there was no way Megaman would dodge this attack. Protoman jumped backwards, and a huge Fireball shot down at Megaman. It hit directly. With that, Megaman disappeared. Then some text appeared in Megaman's place.

"Megaman, Logging Out." The battle was over. Protoman had one.

"Darn it!" Lan shouted. He unplugged his PET.

"Lan, you really should stop treating Megaman like a revenge tool." Chaud said coolly.

"I don't...I treat Megaman like a partner." Lan replied.

"Maybe...But I don't see that." With that, Chaud turned around, and walked away.

"That Chaud..." Lan said under his breath. He looked over to Maylu, and saw her running to Lan.
"Sorry you lost Lan." She said.

"It's okay Maylu." Lan said. Maylu wrapped her arm around Lan's arm, and they walked to the guard.

"Can we come in?" Lan asked.

"What's your name?" The guard said in a deep and rough voice.

"Maylu and Lan!" Maylu replied.

"You two are a couple?" The guard asked.

"We sure are!" Maylu said, and kissed Lan on the cheek. Lan blushed.

"Ugh...Yeah. We're a couple." Lan said.

"Okay, go in." The guard said. He opened the door, and they both walked in. Yai was there, waiting for them. Chaud was next to her.

"CHAUD!?" Lan shouted, and fell down on his head.

"Um...Yai, what is Chaud doing here, anyways?" Maylu asked.

"Chaud's my date." Yai replied. Lan got back up on his feet.

"WHAT!?" Lan shouted, and crashed on his head again.

"Yeah, it's true...Chaud and I weren't really fighting all those times. Secretly, we both liked each other. And we both have alot of similarities!" Yai said.

"I see..." Maylu said. Her face got red, and she was jealous. She got Lan back up on his feet, and hugged him tightly. "Me and Lan are a real couple TOO!" Maylu said, her face still red.

"Err..." Lan blushed. "Maylu, what are you doing?" Lan asked her.

"Play along." She replied.

"Oh...Kay..." Lan nodded. "Yep! We both LOVE each other!" Lan laughed.

"LAN!" Maylu yelled quietly.

"Sorry..." Lan replied.

"Um...Really? I never thought you two liked each other...just best friends." Yai said.

"We could say the same for you, Yai." Maylu replied. Chaud flung his hair back.

"It's obvious she's faking." Chaud said.

"Err...No we're not!" Maylu said.

"Why are you doing this anyways?" Lan whispered to her.

"No reason..." Maylu lied.

"Anyways, it's great to see you here!" Yai said.

"Is Dex coming?" Lan asked.

"No. He had no girl to come with." Yai laughed.

"Well, when does the party start?" Lan asked.

"It HAS started. You two were really late." Yai replied.

"Oh...Right." Lan said.

"Yai, we should get going." Chaud said.

"Um...Right." Yai replied. She took Chaud's arm, and they walked off.

"Maylu, why did you do that!?" Lan asked.

"I was...jealous." Maylu replied. Lan burst out laughing.

"Jealous!? Haha! Why?" Lan asked.

"I wish I had someone like Chaud..." Maylu said.

"Someone like Chaud!? How could you respect that guy?" Lan asked.

"Not LIKE Chaud...just...a friend that's more then a friend."

"Isn't Yai your best friend?" Lan asked.

"Arrrgh! Lan, you don't understand! I mean like...a...a..."

"A what?" Lan asked impatiently.

"A Boyfriend." Lan fell on his face again.

"A...A...Boy Friend!?" Lan shouted. "Me and Dex are your boy friends!" Lan said.

"LAN! I don't mean like that!!!" Maylu shouted.

"What do you mean..." Lan's mouth dropped. "You mean...a boyfriend!"

"Yes...Lan." Maylu replied.

"I wonder...what kind of boys are you interested in...?" Lan asked. Maylu blushed, but tried to hold it back.

"Hmmm...I like...A boy who's cute, and has a great personality. And I have to know them..." Maylu replied.

"Oh, you mean like Dex?" Lan said. Maylu's face turned demonic.

"NO!" Maylu yelled.

"Okay...Calm down Maylu. I guess I'm not great with this kinda stuff, so let's enjoy them party!" Lan said.

"Um...Sure Lan." Maylu held his hand, and they walked off to their table.

"What's our Table Number, Lan?" Maylu asked.

"Um...Let me check the invitation..." Lan opened the card, and saw #23. "We're Number 23."

"Okay...Lets see..." Maylu searched the room. "There we are!" Maylu grabbed Lan's arm, and dragged him over to the table. Then they sat down.

"Hmmm..." Maylu looked at the candles. The lights were turned down. "This is so romantic Lan!" Maylu said.

"Yeah...I guess." Lan replied. Lan looked distracted. He was starring over at Table Number 24.

"What's up Lan?" Maylu asked.

"That guy at Table 24...I recognize him..." Lan replied.

"Oh yeah! He moved to ACDC Town just recently, didn't he?" Maylu said. She took a good look at the boy. He had black hair that was longer then LANs by a little, and a headband with a "Z" on it.

"He's pretty cute." Maylu said.

"Err...He's Okay..." Lan said. Maylu laughed.

"You're not supposed to say he's cute." Maylu said.

"Right...I wonder what his name is. Or if he has a Navi..." Lan said.

"Wanna find out?" Maylu asked.

"Sure!" Lan replied. Lan stood up. This time, Maylu didn't grab his arm. They walked over to Table 24.

"Hi there." Maylu said, shyly. The boy turned his head towards Maylu and Lan.

"Hello Lan Hikari." The boy said.

"Err...You know my name?!" Lan asked in shock.

"Yes...I do. I know all of your friend's names too. Maylu, is it? You're Lan's girlfriend...right?" He asked.

"Um..." Maylu blushed.

"Nope, we aren't dating. Why do you ask?" Lan asked.

"No apparent reason..." He replied.

"So what's your name?" Maylu asked.

"They call me...Tino." He replied.

"Ah...Tino. Cool name!" Maylu said.

"Well Tino...Do you have a Navi?" Lan asked.

"Yeah." Tino replied. He took out his dark red PET.

"What's his name?" Maylu asked. Suddenly, the Navi spoke.

"I'm MegamanZero.EXE." The Navi said.

"MEGAMAN!?" Lan shouted out.

"I thought you would reply like that..." Tino replied. "Yes, Megaman is in his name. Just like your Navi. You can call him Zero."

"Zero..." Lan said quietly. Possibilities rushed through Lan's mind.

"I have a feeling this isn't the last time I'll see you Lan Hikari." Tino said.

"Um...Sure! We should battle sometime!" Lan said.

"Maybe Zero should meet our Navis!" Maylu suggested.

"Good Idea Maylu!" Lan said.

"Yes...Wonderful idea. Let's jack into the AC Unit." Tino said.

"Um...Okay." Lan said. All three of them jacked their PETs into the AC Unit.

"Jack In, Megaman Execute!"

"Jack In, Roll Execute!"

"Jack In, MegamanZero Execute!"

Roll held Megaman's arm. Her pink outfit flashed at Zero's dark red eyes.

"Hi there Zero." Megaman said.

"Hi Zero, My name's Roll!" Roll walked closer to Zero.

"Hey." Zero said rudely.

"Err...Nice Sword." Megaman said, shyly.

"Thanks." Zero said. Zero seemed to be a Navi of few words.

"You're a great conversation starter..." Roll said sarcastically.

"I don't have time for this. Tino, jack me out." Zero said.

"Already!?" Megaman asked. "Can't we at least have a net battle?"

"Did you say...a Net Battle?" Zero asked keenly.

"Sure! As long as Lan and Tino are up for it." Megaman replied.

"I'll Jack Out..." Roll said, and disappeared with a pink light.

"I'm up for this Net Battle." Lan said.

"Me too." Tino said.

"I'll watch. This should be interesting..." Maylu said.

"Battle Routine Set!" Lan shouted.

"Battle On!" Tino said.

The scenery around Megaman and Zero changed.

"This is weird..." Megaman said. It looked like they were in a Lava Pit.

"Indeed." Zero lied. Zero had teleported them to an arena of his advantage.

"Let's do this!" Megaman said.

"Wide Sword, Battle Chip In! Download!" Lan shouted, and inserted the Wide Sword Chip.

"Hmph. That's all you got?" Tino replied, cocking one eyebrow. "Z-Saber, Battle Chip In! Download!"

Megaman's left hand changed into a wide sword. A Transparent green sword appeared in Zero's hand.

"That lame sword is all that you have?" Zero said.

"We'll see..." Megaman said. Zero dashed over to Megaman, and slashed at him, then returned back to his original spot before Megaman could even open from his eye blinking.

"Argh! How did you-" Megaman blinked again. Quickly, Zero dashed behind Megaman, and slashed at him. This time he didn't go back to his original spot. Megaman turned around, but Zero disappeared.

"Amazing! Your Navi is really strong!" Lan said.

"Why thank you Lan Hikari..." Tino said. "Z-Buster, Download!" Tino inserted a Z-Buster chip to his PET.

A gun appeared on Zero's other hand. Zero re-appeared behind Megaman again, and took two shots with his Z-Buster. Megaman screamed in pain.

"How did you..." Megaman couldn't even finish a single sentence. Before he did, Zero had attacked him again.

"Megaman! Stop talking! You have to find him before he attacks you! Download his attack patterns!" Lan shouted.

"Roger! Downloading..." Megaman replied. Quickly, Zero's attack data was inside Megaman's hard drive. Zero stood in front of Megaman. Neither moved.

"You can't beat me, Megaman." Zero said.

"Like I said...we'll see..." Megaman said.

"We certainly shall!" Zero yelled! With that, Zero re-appeared behind Megaman, but Megaman back flipped, and landed behind Zero, slashing him with the wide sword.

"Ack! How did you-" Before Zero could finish, Megaman fought fire with fire, and used all of Zero's tactics. Megaman shot with his buster a couple times, phasing Zero.

"You're good." Zero said. Megaman appeared in front of Zero.

"Thank you." Megaman replied. Before Megaman could do another "Zero attack", Zero started to glow a bright red.

"What's happening!?" Megaman asked.

"Prepare...For The Zero Virus." Zero said evilly. Quickly, five "Z" hologram viruses were shot at Megaman. Zero just stood there, laughing and glowing. Megaman made impact with four of the viruses. Megaman was stunned.

"There's no where left to run Megaman..." Zero laughed.

"Argh! Zero! I can't believe this...you're..." Megaman was interrupted.

"I'm The Zero Virus."
