Castle Comp

The Castle Comp is a network location in Mega Man Battle Network 2 located in the Center HQ in Electopia. It is hacked by KnightMan.EXE in order to stop opposition against Gospel.

Description
The Castle Comp is resembles the inside of an antique castle with chains in the background. Since the network is old, the structures likewise look decayed, oxidated and crumbling. Gameplay-wise this affects Virus Busting since some panels may be cracked as a result.

In order to progress the player needs to find a key that opens the door further ahead. However, things become complicated as they will face hostility from Vampire programs that relentlessly pursue the player and if they catch up to them they will lose HP. They will later face harassment from Zombies which will drag the player to a nearby grave if captured, making travel more difficult. The Zombies move slowly and only see straight so they can be fooled. Finally Bandits are much faster enemies and will attempt to rob the player's money, and will take a massive portion of their current money on each successful thievery,.and have the gimmick of always going left whenever a path splits. Fortunately whenever a bandit is present treasure box-like area is always around where the player can retrieve the stolen money. To make matters far more complicated the stage becomes increasingly more labyrinthine making it far more troubling to avoid all the threats and retrieve the key intact.

Furthermore on deeper levels the player will face deadly threats from Dominerd viruses equiped with Geddon chips easily restricting the player's movement and making them an easy target for their crushing bites.

Story
When Lan and MegaMan.EXE are summoned to a meeting for top NetBattlers to stop Gospel and their SuperNavi project, the meeting comes to an abrupt end when Gospel hijacks the castle and has the operators thrown into the castle's dungeon which is infested with traps.

Lan and MegaMan have to navigate the network to disable the traps but unfortunately one by one the NetBattlers fall to the traps leaving only Lan and Chaud who doubt each other as a Gospel operator and a battle ensues. An injured Raoul reveals that Princess Pride is the true perpetrator and feigning her death in order to keep assaulting the NetBattlers. With ProtoMan.EXE disabled only Lan and MegaMan can stop her, but she makes a gap on the path making it unable to jack in by normal means. However, Lan uses his wireless device to jack MegaMan in from a distance and manage to defeat Pride and her Navi KnightMan.EXE putting an end to the terror. Princess Pride is subsequently arrested and the NetBattlers are found injured but alive. It is hinted that Pride joined Gospel in order to get revenge in Creamland's name as the small country has been left forsaken.
