Author's Notes: I'll eventually get around to actually completing a 'fic before moving on to another but school and a change in interests has rendered the others on hold.

Ah well... Just a disclaimer to go: Megaman Battle Network and all it's respective Characters and places belong to Capcom (I have no part in that company!)

Grudge, Formailanc, Edward and Liz are creations born of mine and my GF's imaginations.

Quilm and Chris are owned by The BioCobra.

Without further ado, read on!

ACDC Net

The ACDC net area was it's usual virus filled self, with various NetNavis running or walking around the place or busting viruses.

One such navi, who'd been known to not only hold one Cybeast's remaining data but had also conquered the raging program, known as Falzar, on various occasions. This blue navi, who bore a near twin-like resemblance to his operator, was known as Megaman. His operator, the ever excitable Lan, was currently on the phone to another person while he walked through crowds of adoring navigirls, towards the navi he was jacked in to meet.

The pink body of Roll stuck out like a Sunflower in a field of daisies. Most of the navigirls had backed off he had given them his signature gesture. "They just can't get enough of the only one to keep Falzar alive can they?" Roll asked, disapprovingly.

"Not my fault I'm a celebrity. I didn't ask for it." Megaman laughed, smiling as he and Roll walked off towards Lan's homepage, mainly because Lan had realized that it was unusually quiet.

Unbeknownst to them, another navi, bearing a resemblance to Bass, floated on the outskirts, shooting the occasional Mettaur that attacked, keeping an eye on them. A small "Humph." dropped from this navi's mouth as it's right hand moved to grip the sword that floated near it's shoulder.

"What's up Grudge?" another navi, female this time, asked. Her body had enormous wings, which were wrapped around her lithe form to cover it, and her head was styled to look like she wore a priest's cowl, "Found the Prison of Falzar?"

"Exactly Formilanc. The Blue one, speaking to the pink navi, which had split from the group is the Prison. They treat him like a hero, but he's nothing but a dust mote to us." Grudge said, turning away from ACDC area to enter a relatively new link, one to the net area which belonged to his operator's home. "Sir Edward. It's time to Jack Out, we've finished recon." The cloaked navi told his operator.

"Excellent." Edward said, his form was cloaked in the shadows of his night-time haunt, "We shall move Falzar's data out of that wimp, even if we have to delete him..."

"From what I've heard, that'll be tough." Grudge stated, "He's taken down the WWW thrice, disbanded the Netmafia Gospel and defeated Nebula twice, all with that wimp navi."

"I see. That's a minor inconvenience, but not enough to stop the plans we have yet to set in motion. Wily, Regal and Sean were merely pawns in an altogether greater scheme." Edward decreed turning away from the computer he used as his web access.

"Gaining the power of both Gregar and Falzar into one single family." A large, muscular, woman said from the doorway, "You do know that most of the net will fight you."

"That's until we set loose our Navi's companions, Liz..." Edward said, both him and Liz grinning.

"Here you are..." Another voice said, sounding as if he'd been looking for them.

"You know where I am at these hours, Chris." Edward stated, not looking at the newcomer, "You remember what it was you had to do?"

"I don't forget that easily." Chris replied, "Looking at what he's done..." he paused to draw in a breath, "I'm going to need a bit of help with the target."

"So you think Quilm, your own navi, isn't up to the task." Grudge asked from Edward's PET

"Hey! I'm the one with the concerns here!" said navi retorted from Chris' own PET.

"Grudge'll be nearby, he'll jump in if Quilm is going to lose... But I doubt that'll happen, knowing how had to hit he is." Edward sighed.

Chris walked off to send his navi into the net, while Edward did the same with Grudge. "Today is definitly looking up..." Liz said.

"So it would seem." Edward's voice answered, sounding dubious as to whether he should let Grudge enter the fray at all...
