@dunedragon Ask and ye shall receive!
Two children stood in a white room, one with arms crossed across her chest and an eyebrow cocked in mild interest while the other was playing with the hem of his hoodie.
The girl was wearing a cropped blue jacket over a black top with leggings under a pair of shorts, an orange symbol outlined in gold prominent on the left side of her jacket.
The boy was wearing a large orange hoodie that seemed to swallow him whole and almost covered his shorts while a bright blue headband with a matching symbol was snuggly tied around his head.
Regardless of where they came from, both were part of the Hikari family.
"So," the girl started. "I'm guessing your name is Netto too? How did you get here?"
The boy flinched before answering. "Actually, my name is Lan and I honestly don't know how I got here. I remember going to bed and hearing a voice talking about the likes meeting one another. When I looked around, I couldn't find MegaMan and only saw this giant robot looking thing. Then, I was here!"
Netto nodded slowly, lips twisted in a grimace. "One, it's good to know that you have some form of RockMan in your world from what it sounds like. Two, I think were were brought here by Duo."
"Who or what is Duo?"
"He's a NetNavi from the edge of the universe and operates purely on logic as he judges other beings from their planets, decides whether the species or race is good or evil, and then destroys the planet if he deems it evil," Netto explained, much to her counterpart's horror. "He dropped by my planet some years back to judge it, but the test was rigged by his companion, Slur. A bunch of criminal NetNavis were resurrected and mostly given to people who had less than good intentions. A few people were innocent, but a majority of them were career criminals. Long story short, my friends and I beat the bad guys, exposed and deleted Slur, and sent Duo on his merry way among other things."
Lan decided not to ask about the last bit of the sentence that his counterpart muttered under her breath.
"Well, you sound like you've been doing some cool stuff for a while. I just got my NetNavi. Dad gave him to me as a gift when we moved back to DenTech City," the boy explained.
Netto blinked at her counterpart in confusion. "You moved back to Densan?"
"DenTech City, but yeah! Before that we were living in Cyber City! I lived in DenTech when I was younger but we had to move for Dad's job. He then got transferred back to Sci-Labs Headquarters after the mayor was arrested." Lan then shrugged. "Turns out the mayor made it so Dad would transfer and slowly tried to get him to unearth some powerful programs that had been hidden away a long time ago."
Netto sighed. "Our family can never have a moment of peace, at least that is universal."
"Um, just how bad is it? I mean in your world?" Lan asked. "I just started a new school and MegaMan keeps trying to drag me into situations, like trying to make new friends not like I had many in the first place back in Cyber City, but what about you?"
"I'm basically part of a super sentai group that goes around the world and stops cyber crime. People keep thinking that just because they're smarter than the average human that they have the right to steal the hard work from other people to rule over everyone on the planet, so we have to kick ass and take names. I've lost friends in the line of duty and I've been betrayed by them too, but a majority of my team are still friends with me and with each other. We have goot times and we have bad times, but at least I have RockMan and the rest of the family beside me." Netto went quiet for a bit and blushed. "Also, I have my boyfriend so that helps too..."
Lan smiled and softly clapped his hands together. "Hooray for you!"
Netto smiled when something caught her eye. "Has that door always been there?"
Lan turned around and jumped back. "No, no it was not."
"...We're gonna have to go open it to find out where we are, aren't we?"
Lan sighed and took off his backpack before rummaging around in it. A few seconds later, he pulled out a kabuton stick. "I have other things if you need one."
Netto smiled. "Oh, I think we're going to get along just great."

Meeting of the Nettos
-
THUD!
After what felt like an eternity of freefall, Megaman.EXE suddenly hit solid, hard ground.
"Oww..." The orange navi groaned from his landing spot on the ground. After taking a moment to recover and gather himself, Megaman pulled himself upright and tried to inspect his surroundings.
He blinked his green eyes in confusion. He was standing in some kind of strange, white void. He squinted his eyes, straining to understand how far the space stretched, but no matter how hard he focused, he could not make out any sort of horizon; there didn't even seem to be a floor, despite the ground feeling completely solid beneath his feet. It couldn't possibly be the real world, but this place didn't feel like anywhere on the net, either. Was he dreaming somehow?
"Where the heck am I??" he cried out.
"Whoa! Another navi me?!"
Megaman whirled around at the voice of a sudden new presence in the void, and found himself face-to-face with...
...himself?
The other navi definitely had his face, but certain other details were different. He had the same orange gloves and boots, but his bodysuit was a plain black compared to his own dark orange. He also wore a full orange helmet, with a white antenna on both sides and short tufts of dark artificial hair poking out at the back. All the same, the Hikari family crest rested on the front of his helmet, the sides, and on his chest. But perhaps the biggest (and most curious) difference was that the other navi had brown eyes.
Hub's eyes.
"Whoa...!" The delayed shock finally struck Megaman, and he jumped in surprise. "Who are you? Why do you look like me??"
"That's what I wanna know!" said the lookalike, seeming oddly less surprised than Megaman figured he should be, and far more excited. "You're a Netto too, right?"
He blinked. "Huh?"
"Ah, wait, you go by Lan, don't you?"
Megaman's eyes widened slightly at the use of his real name, and he forced out a rather unconvincing laugh. "I dunno where you got that name from, but you're looking at the one and only Megaman!"
The other navi's eyes lit up in a surge of excitement. "No way! You go by Megaman too??"
Megaman deflated slightly. "Y-Yeah...? Is that name common around...wherever we are?"
"Sorta," said the other Megaman, "But in my case, I'm not usually a navi."
"Aaaaand you lost me," said Megaman, his brows furrowed in confusion, and brought a hand to his chin. "Hey, wait. If you're really another me, then...were you made the same way?"
The other Megaman shrugged. "I dunno, did you and your Rockman fight an ancient net entity that grants people's wishes by warping reality?"
Megaman merely blinked in silence.
The other Megaman grinned sheepishly, rubbing his hand against the nape of his neck. "Guess not."
Megaman let out a small sigh and shifted into a sitting position. "Normally I don't like to talk about when I was made. But, weirdly enough, I feel like I could talk to you about it because you remind me of more than just...well, me. You kinda remind me of Hub, too."
The other Megaman tilted his head with curious interest, moving to join him on the ground. "Who's Hub?"
"He's my operator. He's kind of shy and quiet, but he's a really nice and friendly kid. He's also really smart and focused!! Without him, I never would've stood a chance against World Three or anybody else!"
"Hey," said the other Megaman suddenly, "Just, out of curiosity, are you and Hub...twins?"
Megaman's eyes widened. "I...how'd you know?"
The other Megaman gave a weak smile. "Normally, I can be pretty clueless about a lot of things. But, if you're me, and you're a navi, and you were made, then...I think I understand."
Brown eyes locked with green.
"You were the one who had HBD, weren't you?"
Megaman gulped, but it was more of a phantom reflex than anything else. "...Yeah. When we were born, Hub turned out perfectly healthy, but...I wasn't so lucky." He shook his head, as though to ward off any negative thoughts. "But Dad didn't wanna give up on me. He worked day and night, trying to incorporate my DNA with the Navi Project to bring me back. And eventually, right around Hub's 10th birthday...there I was, all finished and ready to meet him. We've been together ever since: stopping netcrime and making the world a better place for humans and navis to live peacefully." He tilted his head downward. "I just wish we weren't always separated by a screen."
A silence hung between the two orange navis. Neither was entirely sure what to say next.
"...Are you mad at your dad?"
Megaman looked to his counterpart. "For what?"
"For doing that to you. Did he ever make you feel...inferior? Like you were just a backup of the real Lan?"
Megaman's brow raised. Where was this coming from? "Not...really? I mean, for a while I couldn't tell Hub who I was even though I really wanted to, and it was kinda hard to keep it secret, but other than that...Dad always seemed to think of me as Lan. I mean...I feel like I'm the real Lan. Never really had any reason to doubt myself."
The other Megaman hummed flatly. "Gotcha."
Feeling a sense of concern, Megaman side-eyed his counterpart. "Is...is your Hub okay?"
The other Megaman gave a solemn nod. "His name's Saito, actually, but he also goes by Rockman. And...he wasn't okay for a while, but I didn't know it at first. He'd been building fences around his true feelings and keeping them hidden, so I never knew just how much he was hurting." He brought a hand to his chest. "He was so scared at first when the entity switched our places. I had to keep reminding him to breathe just so he wouldn't pass out. I could tell he was really excited to be human and getting to just, live, y'know? But he felt like he didn't deserve it, like he'd stolen my life from me. Like he'd stolen Saito's life."
He looked back to Megaman, though the melancholy on his face had given way to vigor, and his brown eyes shone with it. "But after everything we've been through together, especially on Torishima...I feel like those fences are finally gone, and me and Saito are closer than ever! Brothers, no matter what!"
That smile was infectious, and Megaman couldn't help himself. "Yeah...just like me and Hub! Nothing can stop us, 'cause no matter what, we're always connected!" He then sighed defeatedly. "I just wish one of them was here now, they could help us find a way out of this place."
"I guess we better go find the others then."
Megaman did a double take. "Others??"
"Yeah! You didn't think we were the only ones here, did you?" He stood up and gestured for Megaman to follow him. "C'mon!"
The two walked for some time, though exactly how long, Megaman wasn't certain. For all he knew, time may not even exist in this endless white void. But, soon enough, they came upon a growing crowd, and Megaman's eyes widened.
An entire group of other Lans, or Nettos, or whatever they called themselves, stood amongst each other. They were either chatting, laughing, or just looking around in excited confusion. Some were navis, just like him. Others seemed to be completely human. At least one of them even appeared to be a girl.
Netto Megaman slung his arm around his shocked counterpart's shoulder. "We still don't really know where we are, but since it just seems to be other Nettos and Lans here, I've been calling it 'the Nettoverse'! Pretty cool, huh? It's like something out of a superhero movie!"
His mind spinning faster than he could keep up with, Lan Megaman shook his head.
"This...is...AWESOME!"

Self Care (Nettoverse-adjacent side story)
[@dunedragon I initially wasn't gonna expand on this past that one post but it wouldn't leave my head lol]
Some want to see // Those who've gone above
Friends that they lost // People they love
I'd rather meet // The me down the road
To lead me through the fog // Wouldn't ask for more
🎵: "Future People" - Alabama Shakes
Hub didn't know what to make of all this.
It was already unsettling enough to find himself dropped unceremoniously into an endless and seemingly-empty white void, with Megaman nowhere to be found. It was another can of worms entirely to find yourself in the exclusive company of...well, yourselves.
Some of the counterparts he'd encountered so far were humans, like him. Others were navis, and he briefly marveled at the possibility that he could have been the sick child reborn in a virtual world, instead of his brother. One even appeared to be some kind of spirit, which admittedly made him anxious, but at the very least they did not seem outwardly hostile.
But one of these counterparts somehow managed to be both navi and human at once. And it was this one that currently sat in Hub's presence.
Hub sat at one side, his counterpart opposite him a few feet away and attention focused on the Hikari crest necklace in his grasp. Hub's understanding was that this version of himself went by Saito, his navi name being Rockman. Hub didn't have the full details; all he knew for certain was that Rockman had been Netto's (his Lan's) navi until an ancient reality-bending net entity swapped their places, making Netto the navi and Rockman the operator.
Since arriving here (wherever here was, and however long ago that had been; the inability to keep track of time here lowkey unnerved him), Hub noticed that Saito was...distant. When he wasn't interacting with his other counterparts, even then keeping conversations to a cordial minimum, he often seemed to be on the verge of a panic attack, always stopping just short by reminding himself to breathe.
The sight tugged at Hub's heart. Though he himself had never been as prone to panic, he recognized that reservation and isolation. But after everything Hub and Megaman had gone through together, how Hub had grown and changed as a person...
He couldn't bear to watch that silent suffering happen again. So he swallowed his nerves and made the first move. "Saito?"
The other boy jumped at the sound of Hub's voice, clutching his heaving chest and turning to him with green eyes wide and panicked, like a deer in the headlights. It made Hub's heart twinge.
"Um...are you okay?" he continued, pulling down his headphones so that he could hear better.
His grip relaxing against his chest, Saito calmed his breathing before answering. "Y-yes, I-I'm fine."
His eye contact was dodgy. Hub didn't want to pressure Saito, knowing his own history with shyness, but he pushed further. "Are you sure?"
Saito nodded tensely. "Yeah. I'm used to weird situations like these."
Hub's brows furrowed in concern, and, hesitating only for a moment, he reached a hand out to Saito's shoulder. "I-If you want to talk--"
Saito cringed at the touch, and Hub's hand recoiled in shock. Fearful green eyes locked with hurt brown.
What had happened to Saito to make him look at Hub with such...what even was that feeling in his eyes? Fear? Resentment?
Hub's eyes trailed to the side. "I...I'm sorry to bother you." He pulled his headphones back over his ears. "I'll give you your space."
Before Hub could shift to stand up, a hand rested on his shoulder, and now it was his turn to jolt at the sudden physical contact.
"Wait," said Saito, "I'm the one who should be apologizing. It's not your fault. Not you specifically. It's just..."
Saito ran a hand through his bangs as he took a deep breath in, then out. This would be difficult to explain without sounding like a jerk on some level.
"It's still not easy for me to see my face with those eyes," he finally answered, "Without being reminded that I'm not...him." He darted to face Hub, hands anxiously raised. "B-but again, it's not your fault! I'm just..." Saito's gaze fell to his own, unclenched hands. "I guess, even after everything, I'm still tearing down a few of my fences."
Hub cocked his brows. Fences, huh? That certainly rang a bell.
Hub shifted back into a sitting position. "I wasn't trying to pry. I only asked because...the loneliness I saw in you reminded me of how I used to be. Before I met Megaman--my Megaman--I didn't even realize I had a twin brother, though I'd always suspected it. We were only two when it happened, and I never asked my parents about the other boy in our family pictures because I could tell it still hurt them to talk about it, even if they should've just told me. The only other person I had was Maylu, and even then, we weren't as close as we used to be. It wasn't until Lan was reintroduced to me as Megaman, and we started having all these adventures, that things began to change. Maylu and I started talking again, I stopped being scared of Dex and even befriended him and Yai... And I didn't just meet new people, I also got to see so many new places and try new things!"
Hub once again slid the headphones off his ears, pulling them off and holding them in his lap. He gazed at the Hikari crest emblazoned on each earpiece.
"I know our circumstances are different, Saito, but I understand more than you might think."
A silence hung between the two boys for a moment, though the tension of before had gradually begun to disperse. It didn't even really feel like an awkward silence anymore.
It was Saito who spoke first, braving eye contact with Hub.
"I...I'm afraid of ghosts," he began, and Hub nodded, acknowledging their shared phobia. "And I used to worry that, someday, his spirit would come to take back everything I'd stolen: his life, his loved ones, his face... I don't completely feel that way anymore, but..." He paused to let out a sigh, and his eyes trailed down to his hands again. "Sometimes, when I dream, I still find myself wondering what the...original Saito would think of me."
Then, without warning, Saito found himself embraced in a sudden, gentle, warm hug.
"Well, if it's worth anything," said Hub, "I think you're doing great."
The cracked dam burst, and warm tears quickly fell from Saito's eyes. Saito hugged Hub back, his fingers digging into the back of his counterpart's buttoned overshirt as though for dear life. His sobs left him in heaves, and Hub held him the entire time.
At some point, after Saito had finished crying his eyes out, the two boys pulled away from each other and stood up, determined to figure out where they were and find their respective brothers. As they began walking, Hub looked back to Saito.
"You know, I don't think you've told me much about your adventures with your Megaman--Netto, right? Tell me about Torishima. As much as you feel comfortable sharing."
"Well," Saito began, "There's so much that comes to mind: all the textures, the smells, the colors, I don't even know where to begin." He smiled fondly. "But, I guess I could start with the ocean..."

Roleswap (Again)
Canon Netto meets my Roleswap AU Lightman.
(@dunedragon started these Nettoverse shenanigans, and I'm just jumping on board.)
"Please let me start from the top-"
"I can explain it!"
"No, Lightman!"
"Why not? You stutter too much!"
"No I don't!" Netto just blinked in slow confusion.
"Uh, Papa? What happened?" he asked. Papa leaned back, and let out a breath of air.
"I'm honestly not sure, Netto. We were working on an experiement here at the lab to prove the Beyondard theory, and, well, this happened." he said. Netto stared at the other two. Rockman appeared with his hologram, and was just staring at the blue-hoodied lookalike.
"I think that one is me." he whispered. Netto turned his head towards the other Navi hologram. That Navi looked a bit like Rockman, but he was orange and had a bandana thing instead of a full helmet. He looked at Netto with cyber-blue eyes, and blinked. They went wide.
"Awesome…" he breathed. The human Rockman looked down at the ground, and started rubbing behind his head.
"Well, I guess which one of us… You know… Is different in this world." he said. He was a lot more soft-spoken than Rockman, and that was saying something! Navi-Netto bounced around, grinning.
"Awesome, awesome, awesome! Saito, that's a human me!" he said. Saito sighed, dragging a hand down his face.
"I know, Lightman." he mumbled. Lightman kept grinning. He whirled around, waving his arms around in excitement.
"You have to tell me what your favorite food is! Please, please, please!" he said, talking a mile a minute. Netto gaped.
"No way… How could you not know?!" he exclaimed. Lightman glared at him, and stuck out his tongue. Rockman gave Netto 'the look.'
"That was very insensitive, Netto-kun." he said. Netto frowned.
"Sorry…" he trailed off. He glanced at Lightman again, and pointed at himself. "I'm Hikari Netto, and that's Rockman. My favorite food is curry!" he said. Lightman's grin stretched across his face.
"I knew it!" he exclaimed. Saito sighed, a very long-sufferieng sigh. Now that was definitely Rockman-like. He looked at Rockman.
"Do you want to know?" he asked. Rockman shrugged.
"I think I just want to try everything." he said. A look of relief spread across Saito's face.
"Me too." he said. He took out his PET. It looked just like Rockman's, except it was orange and white. "I wonder if there's a chance of getting in contact with Ebisu and Breakman…" he mumbled. Netto blinked.
"Don't you mean Enzan and Blues?" he asked. Saito stared at him with a very odd, and slightly uncomfortable look. Lightman gaped this time.
"Wait, does this mean that everybody is swapped with their NetNavis here?" he asked, looking slightly incredulous. Netto imagined a Navi Enzan for just a moment, and started to snicker. Lightman started to snicker too. Probably thinking about human Enzan.
The image of a human Blues came to mind, and Netto started to laugh even harder. How would he even manage all that hair? Papa scratched his cheek.
"And we've gotten off-topic again…" he mumbled. Rockman shuddered.
"Two Nettos, both with short attention spans." he said. They'd never get things sorted out at this rate!
