Contacting Me VIII.Author's Final Note ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Megaman Battle Network Story ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *WARNING...THIS STORY COVERS ALL BATTLE NETWOK GAMES AND INCLUDES MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK 3* 20 years before the setting of the game, Tadashi Hikari, grandfather of Netto(Lan) and Saito( Hub), was the top scientist in all of Japan, and probably the world. After inventing networks and PETs, he embarked on his largest project to date, a prototype internet society that would link every network together, the basis of the future net society in which they all live. This prototype, called Proto (Alpha), had to be thoroughly tested and refined before it would be ready for the world to use. And so for 10 years, it was studied and worked on and put through all sorts of the most rigorous testing. Then, one day, all of the networks connected to Proto for testing were suddenly went haywire. After careful study, the scientists on the project concluded that it was not Proto which was glitched, but another project that the science labs were working on, the auto program navi project led by a brilliant young programmer named Cossack. The project had designed the world's first automatic navi, one that could carry all its own chips, access networks without human help, and even included a special Get Ability program Cossack had designed that let the navi copy any chip or program and adapt it to himself. That navi was called Forte. However, because the timing of the testing of Forte coincided with the strange occurrence with Proto, the scientists blamed Forte. The project was deemed a failure and Forte found to be too dangerous, so sent the strongest Navis designed by the Officials, the Navi Elite Unit, to delete him. Just in time, Forte was able to save himself and escape, but he was horribly scarred from the battle (hence the cloak he wears to cover the wound). Ever since that day he had been wandering the net, fighting off viruses in daily battles for survival. Over time he collected the strongest powers he could find, challenging the most powerful navis on the net, determined that he'd one day gain the ultimate power, and sit in judgement of those pathetic humans who turned on him and cast him into the dark recesses of the net. Meanwhile, believing Forte to be gone, the scientists expected that the problem with Proto would be solved. Really, it was on the beginning. For years, a bug had been growing and multiplying inside Proto undetected, increasing in power and even developing a sort of intelligence, a basic instinct. Like an amoeba, it started absorbing and feeding off programs and navis, growing larger and stronger. One day it showed itself, by devouring all the networks connected to it. The scientists scrambled to find a way to destroy the bug anomaly, but it was too powerful for the current technology, all attempts only made the situation worse. Another scientist, Dr. Urakawa, developed a powerful hindrance program, Giga Freeze, that could potentially freeze Proto, but this cure turned out to be potentially worse than the disease, since only the most powerful Navis could handle it, and one mistake in using it could freeze the entire net forever. With his dream of networks becoming like a nightmare, Tadashi developed the "Guardian", a barrier which would contain Proto until a solution could be found. Feeling responsible, he attempted a daring operation that would place his mind and even his soul into the Guardian, to watch over Proto personally and ensure his monster would never harm the world. Finaly, after about a week of devouring everything in sight, Proto's activity began to slow. Tadashi used the time to put his plan into action. It was a success, and Proto was contained. After the incident, which was later called the Proto Rebellon, Proto was sealed away into the highest level top secret in the science network, protected by the tetra code, sealed away, they hoped, forever. Cossack, saddened by the failure of Forte, left the science labs and started an independant navi development company, which would later become one of the most successful in the world. The dangerous Giga Freeze was sealed far away from the mainstream society by Dr. Urakawa into the enormous, shady network area known as the Ura Internet. Its obscurity would later make it a popular hangout for the criminal population of the net, for whom the original purpose of the area was unknown. The Giga Freeze would be protected by the Ura Rank navis, some of the strongest in the net. If ever a day came when the program would be used, only a navi who could climb the Ura ranks would be strong enough to use the program. Fast forward 10 years, to NetMafia Gospel. After failing in his attempt at creating a Dream Virus to destroy his old rival's network society, Dr. Wily hid out for a while to rebuild his ranks. One day in the net he came across a lonely boy who had lost his parents. The boy, Shun Obihiro, had become quite wealthy from his parents' death, but was angry at the world and lost in remorse (remember the boy from Megaman battle network 2...the end boss kid). Wily saw an opportunity, and began manipulating the boy into doing his dirty work for him. He convinced the boy that the world was corrupt, and that he should take control of the net, wipe out the old ways and create a new order. At first Wily's plan was to use the boy to create chaos, but then Wily discovered information on Proto, and developed a new plan to use Proto to destroy the Net for him. But to break the Guardian program, it would require the assistance of an enormously powerful navi. He decided the legendary navi Forte, who could copy any power, was the perfect one for the job. Wily attempted to make his own Forte by fusing bugs with special programs he had the boy gather for him. In fact, he sould be able to make as many Fortes as he wanted. However, this ended in failure as well, as bug fusion could not create a true Forte, but instead a multibug organism with great but uncontrollable power. However, the attempt did catch the attention of the real Forte, who took it upon himself to destroy the remaining copies of himself running around. Wily struck a deal with Forte to help him destroy the Guardian, convincing him that absorbing the Guardian's power would make him the strongest in the world. Although he cared little for Wily or his plots, the thought of such power was too tempting, and the two formed a wary alliance. Also around this time, the rumors circulating of the mysterious black navi caught the attention of Dr. Cossack, who took it upon himself to find Forte and stop him if he was really still out there. *SPOILER* Skip a bunch and fast forward to the end of the game, Proto is stolen by Wily and Proto Bugs have begun leaking out all over the net, creating paths to blocked off systems, even into military computers around the world. However, the core of Proto was still sealed. As Netto and his friends invade the WWW base, Wily and Forte prepare to destroy the final Guardian and set Proto free. Wily uses the Pulse Transmission System to plug himself into the net, and Netto and Rockman come in after him. As they arrive, Forte shatters the Guardian with his powerful Earth Breaker, and absorbs its power. Rockman and Forte do battle, which Rockman wins. Forte is awestuck, but Wily is indifferent, remarking that he was hoping the two would destroy each other, but no matter. He reaveals that now that the Guardian was destroyed, Proto would flood the net, destroying the network society and plunging the world into anarchy. He laughs as Proto absorbs the battle-weakened Forte, but his joy is short lived when Proto swallows Wily as well. Rockman and Netto use all their power to delete Proto, and to their surprise, find a doorway where Proto stood. Inside, they meet the ghost of their grandfather, who had met them only when they were babies. After a heartfelt reunion, Tadashi gives them a letter to give to their dad before Proto begins to collapse. Confident that the future of the world is in good hands, Tadashi is finally ready to leave the mortal coil. He stays in the collapsing Proto while Lan and MegaMan make their way out. While pausing for only a moment, the two are swallowed by Proto, and Rockman decides to use the last of his power to blow Lan free and back to his body. He bids his brother goodbye, and Lan is expelled from the network. The others find him and the group returns for a reunion with family and friends. Meanwhile, Forte barely managed to escape death yet again, but this time he's extremely weak. To his surprise, he is found by Gospel, the wolf-like partial clone of himself, who had regenerated from bugs which were spread across the net after his initial destruction. More surprising, Forte realizes that the creature wants to help him, and the two are joined and begin to regenerate using bug power, forming the more powerful Forte GS. Weeks go by, and Lan is about to start the 6th grade. After going to sleep on the day before beginning the new semester, his father arrives home with Lan's new navi, which he installs into Lan's PET. When awakened the next morning by a familiar voice, Lan is overwhelmed to see MegaMan alive and well again, on a bright day of new beginnings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are these Stars and their purpose? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These 7 Stars represent certain accomplishments you make in this game, as for doing things, beating certain people, and getting chips. These things will be covered in the next topic. As for their purpose, some of the stars open new areas of the game for you to explore, allow you to battle certain people that were not accesable before you get one, and again this will be covered in the next section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obtaining the Stars and Unlocking Secrets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 7 Stars total for you to collect (yellow, green, light blue, blue, purple, red, and orange). Here's how to get them: Yellow Star: Defeat Alpha ----- Alpha (the main story boss) is kind of tough when you first meet him, so I would suggest using the MasterStyle PA (Salamander, Fountain, Bolt, GiaBlade). Once you beat him, you'll view the credits and the title menu will come up, and then you'll see your first star. Green Star: Defeat Bass GS ----- Now that you have your first star (the yellow one) you can enter the secret area if you have abtained atleast 100 standard chips, but you cant fight Bass GS yet. Once you make your way to the end of secret area 3, you'll encounter the door of honor, which Serenade is behind. You must beat Serenade first before you can find Bass GS. To get past the door, you must obtain all 200 standard class chips. Once you have defeated Serenade, head over to the bug frag trader in secret area 3, use it 30 times (or 300 bug frags total), then you will hear a loud growl (this one will cause megaman to say something). From there, exit the secret area, and the undernet, then jack back in and head for the bug frag trader (there will be ghost navis at the end of each area telling you of a great but evil power up ahead), when you reach the platform with the trader on it, save, then walk towards it and Bass GS will appear. Beat him to obtain the Green Star. Light Blue Star: Beat Serenade's Time Trial ----- Once you have beaten Bass GS, you will then receive his chip(depending on the version you have), then take notice, there will be numerous undernet looking navis all over the secret areas. Each one of them has a beta series(v2) navi that is available for battle. Once you beat every navi you will receive the Dark Aura(blue) or Serenade(white) chip. But theres a catch. You have to beat each navi in a certain time limit using your extra folder. My advice would be to use the "N1FldrC", the one with the 3 snake chips, 4 panlout3 chips, and 2 area grab chips. Equip the Fastguage NC Block and use the area grabs first, then use as many panlout3s as you can, then you can use the snakes (also note that the folder contains and attack +10 and a wood +30, so use them with the snakes). This may take a few times to get the hang of it, but beleive me, this does work. Blue Star: Obtain all 200 Standard Class Chips ----- This is obtained just how it states. You have to obtain all 200 of the Standard Class Chips. (There are other FAQs for this and it would take up to much space to put them here). Purple Star: Obtain all 85 Mega Class Chips ----- This again is obtain just how it states. Mega Class Chips are mostly Navi chips and some others. V4 Navi chips ARE part of the Mega Class, and can be obtained by the V3 Navis if, and only if, you are using any form of the "team style," and beat that Navi in 20 seconds or less, and aquire and "S" busting level. Also note that V1-V4 Navi chips can be found in the bugfrag trader in secret area 3. *IMPORTANT*After you get the first five stars, the Omega (or SP) Navis will appear on the Net after you enter a special code on the opening screen. After obtaining five stars, highlight Continue at the title screen, hold left, and input this code (using the should buttons): RRLRLRLL The stars should move closer together. You can now find and fight the SP navis. Red Star: Defeat all 15 Omega (SP) Navis ----- When you defeat these SP Navis you will receive their V5 Navi chips (these chips are considered Giga Class Chips). Here are the locations of all SP Navis: FlashMan Omega: Principal's PC 2 BeastMan Omega: Zoo Computer 3, where you found the DashRun NCP BubbleMan Omega: Yoka Net 2, dead end (where you found an HPMemory) DesertMan Omega: Top-right corner of the DNN Van PlantMan Omega: dead end in Hospital Computer 3 FlamMan Omega: topleft torch in the area you fought his version one in Undernet 3 DrillMan Omega: Undernet 5 where you fought his version one GutsMan Omega: bottom-left part of Dex's homepage MetalMan Omega: dead end in Tamako's homepage KingMan Omega: DNN building, in control panel by editing room door BowlMan Omega: NetBattle Machine in the DNN studio MistMan Omega: same place as BowlMan DarkMan Omega: top-left dead end (where you found Geddon3) in Secret Net 1 JapanMan Omega: Secret 2 (where you found the antinavi) found by invisable path ProtoMan Omega: small square area in Hades Net Serenade Omega: where you fought him the first time Bass Omega: where you found SaitoBatch (Hubbatc NCB) *****Note: There is NO Punk Omega or Punk version chip of anykind.You can only take on Alpha Omega AFTER earning the last two stars (red and orange). He will be in the same area you fought him in the first time.Defeating him in Blue Version gets you AlphaArm Omega, White Version earns you AlphaArm Sigma.***** Orange Star: Complete your P.A. library by pulling off all 32 Program Advances ----- Pulling off all 32 PAs is not as easy as it sounds, so I have listed them all here. *Note: Combos for PAs are running left to right, not up and down.* 1)Z-Canon 1--- Unlimited Cannon for 5 seconds.
