A very close brush with death for MegaMan led to a massive reveal during his revival.
He is Lan's twin brother, Hub, reincarnated as his NetNavi by their father Yuichiro! For the safety, Dad had turned, 0.001% of MegaMan's human DNA into "hub.bat".
But now, that program was not only used to fully revive him, but also give him a PowerUp past his limits!
With Lan & MegaMan back at a duo, and all of their friends having finished their roles, it was time to confront and defeat Dr. Wily!
----
By the time I fought MagicMan, I could no longer save. So if I Game Over, here, it's all the way back to that fight.
----------
Lan reaches Wily and his hacking rocket, with the madman announcing his final revenge against the person he simply called "Dr. Hikari".
When Lan realizes how angry Wily was at Lan's whole bloodline, the old man revealed to him why...
30 years ago, Wily competed against Dr. Hikari for researching an incredible advancement for the whole world: His robotics skills vs. Hikari's networking skills.
But THIS Dr. Hikari wasn't Lan's father Yuichiro, but rather his father's father/grandfather, Dr. Tadashi Hikari!
When the government caught wind of this, they ultimately decided following after a contest to fund Dr. Hikari's research, leading to a whole (alternate) world (of Mega Man) where everything was ran by the internet instead of being recognized for super fighting robots!
Wily REALLY wanted to have his own Robot Masters (but not this time)!
So he decided to pick up his own networking skills... and weaponize them against the world that turned its back on his research. He personally sought to delete Hikari and everything he's ever known and loved...
Thus, Wily created the WWW, and for the final step to his EndGame plan... all he had to do was press a big red button.
NOT IF LAN HIS TWIN BROTHER MEGAMAN CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Time to end what their grandfather didn't intend to start with Wily!
----------
This final net dungeon is a very straightforward path. You can still encounter strong Viruses along the way, but don't let that hinder you.
----
At the end of this path, MegaMan reaches Wily's ultimate virus: The LifeVirus.
And now... *TO DELETE IT!*
The LifeVirus has a very strong shield that will take a massive beating before it's permanently gone. In the meantime, it will temporarily go down when it unleashes one of its charged attacks, such as a huge laser beam or a massive sword swing.
The LifeVirus can also summon minions by its side themed after all four elements of Fire, Aqua, Elec & Wood. Consider dispatching them ASAP if you feel like they'll be extra shields against the main target.
When the LifeVirus is open for an attack, you should react with your own strongest Chips!
To think... this final boss has 1000 HP. That's the highest of anyone in this game up to this point... and yet, the sequels make this number feel... *spoiled...*
----------
And so, through Lan's excellent operating skills MegaMan had deleted the LifeVirus, putting an end to Dr. Wily, his evil plan, and all of his WWW.
Now it was time for Lan to escape from there with Mayl & Chaud, and yet, Wily stood behind... swearing allegiance to his WWW to the bitter end as his lab was blown to smithereens.
----------
Lan & MegaMan had a reunion back at their house. All of their old friends and new friends were there with his mother, and best of all... *THEIR DAD FINALLY CAME BACK HOME!!!*
Yuichiro thanked his wife Haruka for raising their two boys well while he was gone, but she was on the contrary that it was thanks to both of them as very loving parents... VERY loving, indeed.
Mayl wished that she and Lan could take from his parents' example and bond like that, too, but Lan - dense as ever - STILL couldn't pick up what she was putting down for him. At least MegaMan & Roll still knew.
Yai & Dex decided to tease Lan about it. Yai also kinda teased Dex about his lack of fighting practice, and he didn't take that well.
Likewise, Chaud felt embarrassed as an official NetBattler to have been bested at his job by a mere citizen such as Lan.
Regardless of everything brought up, Lan was just grateful that everyone helped out in his goal of stopping the WWW. Thanks to that, he and MegaMan saved the whole world, and he's just a 5th grader that loves food!
Nothing can beat them at this point! They'll be ready for whatever comes their way next!
Then... the Hikari Residence's alarm system goes buggy for some reason. Sounds like another Virus is causing trouble! Here we go again!
Time to JACK... *IIIIIIIIIN!!!!*
----------
Thanks for watching my playthrough of the debut game of MegaMan's Network timeline!
There is still some extra stuff to discover, now, but this is the end of this game's story.
Stay tuned for what I may cover of this series, next!
