Serenade.EXE

Serenade.EXE (セレナード), also known as "S" and "UnderKing", is a NetNavi from MegaMan Battle Network 3, and is the ruler of the Undernet.

MegaMan Battle Network 3
When Lan is asked to obtain the Forbidden Program called "GigaFreeze", which is able to freeze Alpha in case it awakens, MegaMan travels to the Undernet and has to defeat several ranked Navis to reach "S", the Rank 1 Navi that protects the program. After defeating Rank 2, MistMan (White version) or BowlMan (Blue version), he discovers the Navi is called Serenade and is located in the server of the Undernet. MegaMan finds the server in the Ura Inn, where Serenade's voice can be heard and says that if he wants the Forbidden Program, he must be a "Chosen One" to hold it, or the program would freeze him forever. MegaMan is able to take it and leaves, and Serenade is surprised to see that another Navi is able to hold it. Later, MegaMan tries to use the program against Bass while he was taking Alpha after DrillMan's defeat, but it sees him as the other "Chosen One" mentioned by Serenade and Bass is able to stop the program.

After completing the game and completing other quests (like defeating Beta Navis and collecting all normal Battle Chips), the player can enter the Secret Area in the Undernet server, where they can fight against DarkMan and JapanMan before meeting Serenade. Serenade recognizes MegaMan's power for being able to defeat JapanMan and DarkMan, and says the source of his power is mercy, and he wins because he loves and respect his enemies. After defeat, Serenade reveals he fought against Bass in the past, winning after a battle that lasted days. MegaMan receives Rank 1 and a side-quest will be available after logging out and then returning to the Secret Area, a time attack against several Alpha NetNavis with a Extra Folder. The player can obtain the Battle Chip Serenade S (White version) or DarkAura A (Blue version) if a new record is set for all Navis.

Abilities
Serenade has some very unusual attacks.
 * Sonic Boom: If Serenade is able to move up or down, any attacks that hit him will be reflected down the row in a sonic boom. Serenade is unable to do while using Holy Shock, he is still able to defend with sonic boom while attacking with Saint Light.


 * Saint Light: Serenade fires an orb that slowly zigzags across the battlefield.


 * Holy Shock: Serenade stands at the front of his area and puts his palm forward. Panels will flash and damage the player if he's standing on them, and also a gust of wind will push the player backwards. This may also crack some panels. This is also the only time Serenade is vulnerable to attack. Note that Serenade needs to move in order to stay invincible but without any panels to move on, he is also vulnerable as well.

Trivia

 * It's believed Mamoru is Serenade's intended operator, as he has Serenade's emblem on his wheelchair, and his father created the Undernet.


 * The raiments around Serenade in his artwork are orange, but his sprite shows them to be pink.


 * Serenade's "Saint Light" is a similar attack to Queen Virgo's attack in MegaMan Star Force 3, which is called "Light of Saint".


 * Officially, Serenade was designed to have an androgynous appearance, meant to appear as a "perfected being" without a gender.
