Lan Hikari dashed through the bustling network city, sunset casting a golden hue across its digital streets. His PET beeped sporadically as MegaMan NT Warrior communicated strategies for their upcoming net battle.
“Lan, don’t forget to install the PowerUp chip before the match!” MegaMan’s digitized voice echoed, more nagging than usual.
“Yeah, yeah, I got it, MegaMan,” Lan laughed, patting his PET reassuringly, though he hadn’t yet done what MegaMan advised. His carefree nature and overconfidence often led to such neglect. He skidded to a halt, his green backpack bouncing as he did.
Suddenly, a strange energy rippled through the open space. At first, it was a distant hum, but it quickly grew louder and more intense. The world seemed to warp around Lan, causing his vision to blur and his equilibrium to falter.
“What’s happening?!” Lan shouted, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and confusion.
That distant hum evolved into a thunderous roar. Lan's body began to stretch and morph. His 11-year-old frame elongated, muscles quickly bulging and fibers twisting, making way for an athletic build. His brown eyes darkened and took on a focus they’d never held before. His untidy brown hair turned pitch black and trimmed itself neatly.
“MegaMan?” Lan tried once more, but the digital voice of his NetNavi sounded distant and distorted until it completely disappeared, leaving an unfamiliar yet overwhelming silence.
His orange vest and shorts rippled and shifted, transforming into a sleek black jumpsuit. Armor formed over it in layers: knee-high navy blue boots with golden crops, gold-circled armor on his knees, and navy blue gloves with golden outlines. A golden belt separated the navy blue torso area from the silver arms of the suit, ending with golden shoulder pads. A symbol resembling a golden volcano appeared in the center of his chest. Completing the transformation, a helmet materialized, fitting snugly over his head with a black visor outlined by golden and adorned with a "stag beetle's horn."
The familiar digital world around him dissolved into violent tornadoes of energy, morphing into a different realm entirely. The bustling city turned into rugged terrain, forests swaying in the wind. Mountains framed the skyline, and a mystic temple appeared in the distance.
Lan’s mind wheeled in panic. He wouldn’t—couldn’t—let go of his memories. “I’m Lan Hikari! I have to get back to my world! MegaMan needs me!” Yet, these desperate thoughts were soon invaded by another presence. Memories not his own started to flood in: learning the ways of the ninja, the warmth of his adoptive parents, and their tragic demise.
“Blake…Blake Bradley,” a voice inside his head insisted, growing stronger with each beat of his heart. Lan's own memories fought back—his friends, his family, his pet, his digital battles—but they started to fade, replaced with intensive training and ninja wars.
“I won’t forget!” he screamed, struggling to hold onto the essence of Lan Hikari, but the grip was slipping. Detailing the rigorous Thunder Ninja Academy lessons, bonding with his brother, Hunter, these new memories burned brighter and felt more real.
The transformation complete, Lan Hikari ceased to exist. Standing there was Blake Bradley, in full Navy Thunder Ranger attire. With a firm grip on his Thunder Morpher, he surveyed the familiar terrain of his world—the world that now felt like the only one he ever knew.
Blake stared at the horizon, ready for action and driven by an unwavering sense of purpose and justice. “Hunter and I will protect this world,” he vowed. The last whisper of Lan’s identity dissolved completely, leaving Blake with nothing but loyalty to his team, a fierce competitiveness, and a heart ready to battle evil in all its forms.

Prompt: Write the transformation story of Lan Hikari (from the Megaman Battle Network video game/anime series) turning into Blake Bradley (in his Navy Thunder Ranger suit) from Power Rangers Ninja Storm live-action television series, complete with age progression, height progression, clothes change (Lan's clothes instantly changing into Blake Bradley's power ranger outfit), reality change (the world of Megaman Battle Network warping and turning into the world of Power Rangers Ninja Storm), and mind/mental change (with Lan Hikari's personality and memories being completely replaced with Blake Bradley's personality and memories, despite his best efforts on fighting off the new memories/personality, making him completely forget he was a young boy named Lan Hikari and only remembered ever being the ninja and a power ranger, as well as being named Blake Bradley). For Lan Hikari's appearance, he is an 11 year old boy who stands at 142.8 centimeters tall and has brown eyes and untidy brown hair, which he keeps out of his face with a bandana bearing the Hikari family mark. His upper-body attire consists of a white long-sleeved shirt with black squares on the elbows under an orange vest. From the waist down, he wears black shorts with yellow stripes on the sides, black ankle-socks, and orange shoes with black stripes. He carries detachable roller blades that allow him to instantly modify his shoes. He will often be seen with his backpack. He almost always carries his PET with him, and the later versions usually come with a pouch or a strap to carry it with. For Lan Hikari's personality, he is outgoing, headstrong, and has a strong sense of justice, though he is often lazy, often sleeping in causing him being late to prior engagements (even if he is the one who set them up), and is a poor student in school, much to Ms. Mari's frustration and despite MegaMan's nagging, though he has the highest grades in Virus Busting. Lan enjoys sports such as soccer and inline skating, which is shown in his preference to skate wherever he goes. He is shown to have a large appetite, often indulging when food is around. As an operator, Lan is able to concentrate in a way he cannot bring himself to do in other situations, and is quick to jump into action to save the day while others panic, even at his own risk. He has a keen sense of deduction, though he often has a simplistic way of looking at things. Despite his aptitude for Net Battling, Lan's ego and arrogance often lead to him making careless mistakes which sometimes put people he cares about in danger. His simple outlook on life also leads to several other problems, such as his emotional vulnerability, which has been exploited. Late in the third game, his vanity and then his trust are both abused in succession, and he is left believing that he is guilty for putting thousands of lives in danger, including his father's, causing him to fall into depression. When he finally arises, his worldview is tempered with a better understanding of evil. For Blake Bradley's appearance (after Lan turned into him), he is a tall, athletic power ranger, standing at around 6 feet tall. He has short, black hair. He is of East Asian in origins, making him oriental in appearance. In his power ranger outfit, he wears a pair of knee-high navy blue boots with golden crops, and has golden circular armor on his knees. He also has a black jumpsuit with a golden belt around his waist to separate the navy blue torso area and silver arms of the suit, with golden shoulder pads on his shoulders and the neck part of the jumpsuit being black like the legs and lower torso. In the middle of the jumpsuit's chest, it contains a strange symbol resembling a golden volcano inside of a golden circle. He also wears a pair of navy blue gloves with golden outlines on it. His helmet is navy blue-colored and covers his entire outfit, with a black visor outlined by golden (which also has an ornament on top resembling a "stag beetle's horn"). For Blake Bradley's personality, he is confident, charismatic, laid-back, determined, driven and humorous. Like Hunter, Blake is loyal to his team. He also has a sense of responsibility and has a desire to protect others. As a proficient fighter, he is also good in problem solving during the fight. Not a lot is known about Hunter and Blake Bradley's early years, except that they were both adopted at a young age by the Bradleys, a young couple who were also members of the Thunder Ninja Academy. It seems that both Bradleys shared a content childhood with their adoptive family, until they were later murdered by the fallen Wind Ninja, Lothor. Hunter and Blake unfortunately are unaware who is responsible for their deaths until years later. Following the death of their family, the boys continued to live at the Thunder Ninja Academy, now being raised by Sensei Omino. Blake and Hunter trained at the Thunder Ninja Academy under Sensei Omino who was later captured along with the whole academy by Lothor. Sensei Omino, knowing that the world needed protectors he gave Blake and Hunter the Thunder morphers. Lothor made them believe Sensei Watanabe was their adopted parents' murderer after he captured them, making Hunter and Blake go against the Wind Ninjas. However, their parents' spirits told them it was Lothor who killed them. After that, the Thunder Rangers allied with the Wind Ninjas and fought alongside them during many battles. It is implied that he has feelings for the Blue Wind Ranger, Tori Hanson. In "I Love Lothor," he and Cam were put under a spell and fell madly in love with Tori. By the end of the series, they know of each others' feelings. After the end of Ninja Storm, Blake achieved his dream of becoming a motocross star. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
