Summary: The Summer Solstice Festival has arrived and the portal has opened. Netto is ready to return home but things don't go according to plan. The portal has created rips in space that leads to different versions of his Internet connected world, all connected to the unknown area, the Cyber Zone.
Sub-plot: Sapphire keeps having dreams of Netto, pleading for her to help him find his way home. Can she find Netto and bring him home?
A/N: This is actually the second version of Trouble in Paradise: The Cyber Zone. The first one didn't satisfy me and got kind of bland after a while. So I decided to start from scratch again and make more universes but to make this less confusing, I decided to make more universes but are related to the Battle Network Universe. Okay, I think I made this more complicated than it really is, here's how it works.
Universe A: Netto's old home universe. This is also where Sapphire lives along with Rockman.
Universe B: Netto's new home universe. This is where Draga, Angel, Ruby, Frost, R.C., and everyone else lives.
Universe C: One of the new universes where a pair of twins name Seimai and Roudou Kazami live along with their navis Buster and Blade. Their friends are Mei Sakurai (Male Version of Meiru), RoruEXE (Male Version of Roll) and Luna and Lunetta EXE.
Universe D: The other new universe is where Raquel, Purity's Vessel lives.
Here are the Portal Colors for the four universes.
Portal Colors
A: Aqua Green
B: Red Violet
C. Yellow
D. Purple
If the inhabitants of one these universes travels to the other they will inhabit a Capital Letter Mark on the back palm of their left hand to signify the universe they inhabit.
For example: If Netto, inhabitant of Universe B, travels to Universe C where Seimai and Roudou live he will inhabit the B Mark on his left hand. The mark will disappear when Netto returns back to Universe B.
Fun Fact: Seimai, Roudou, Buster and Blade were actually real characters that were scrapped during the development of the Battle Network Series. Since there were no concept art for these four, I'm going to create my own versions.
Chapter 1: Foreshadow to an Grand Adventure
Inside the beach house, in which Netto, Draga and Angel lives. Netto was in his room sleep, however his dreams were beyond pleasant.
In his dream, he was in a strange place where everything was in harmony, organic plant life and the cybernetic data coexisting with animal life and cyber viruses lived. However the strangest part was that there were screens showing four different people. The screens were different colors and had the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd'.
Screen A was aqua green, it transverses between the lives of Sapphire and her navi and Rockman after his initial 'death'.
Screen B was red violet and transverses the lives of him, Draga and most of her friends Netto did not know.
Screen C was yellow and shows clips of the lives of a pair of twins and their navis battling together as a team in various tournaments.
Screen D was purple and shows clips of a white dragon spewing purple flames from the mouth, besides it was a girl with light brown hair with purple highlights shaped like a V with matching eyes.
"Where am I?" Netto said.
"This is the Cyber Zone, Netto..." Draco said.
Draco appears before Netto. He wore his signature sleeveless black shirt with the red dragon imprint on the front and the black choker with the ruby dragon gem on it. He also wore simple black pants and shoes.
"Okay, we're in the Cyber Zone, so why am I here in my dreams?" Netto asked.
"You were chosen Netto," Draco said, "So only you and Purity's Vessel can only come here via dream."
"Okay?" Netto said confused, "Whatever you say... But this place is so cool! Is there a way to visit it?"
"There is..." Draco replied, "You must go find the portal tomorrow night." "Oh right..." Netto said, "Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice Festival, so the portal will be active. Question is will we find it on time?" "No doubt..." Draco said, "You've prove yourself that you find the most interesting place by yourself." "Eh? What do you mean?" Netto asked. "Nevermind..." Draco said with a faded smirk, "You wouldn't understand." "O-oh..." Netto said, "I understand."
"Such a confusing boy..." Draco noted, "How his old friends and family dealt with him is a small mystery." (A/N: If it's italics, it means that the character is mentally thinking or Draco is communicating with Netto via link.)
"So how was this Cyber Zone created?" Netto asked.
"Well, it was created back to when Purity and I were watching over various worlds when we were with our mother, Chaos." Draco explained, "We were watching about four different universes that had the same technology premise, the PET. However, these universes have different advances of the PET. Your old home universe, your advances of the PET Technology was about average its advances is growing but still a long way to go, your new home universe that use the PET Technology is getting use to it, the universe where we watch a pair of twins, PET Technology is more advanced then the two. However, the universe where my sister is, well... PET Technology is at the same advances at the previous but things somehow took a dark turn during this universe's timeline."
"What happened to it?" Netto asked. "Well... Let's just say that some evil scientist wanted to take over the world succeeded and that universe fell into ruin." Draco summarized. "So, why are there four versions of my world?" Netto asked. "Because," Draco said, "We're watching over to see who is worthy to be our vessels. You already had decided to be mine and I found out recently that this girl in the dark, alternate universe is my sister's." "So we'll go to that universe, reunite with your sister and everything will go swell!" Netto said. "Yes, but you're forgetting one thing." Draco said.
"Oh yeah... The portal..." Netto said in embarrassment, "You still haven't got that to work properly?" "Actually, it worked just fine it's just when we added more universes that connected to the same portal line, it got fucked up." Draco replied, "So yeah it could take a while to fix it. So get used to being sent to a different place in different universe when you take a portal." "Wait a minute, how can you and Purity hop between universes?" Netto asked. "Well, it's complicated young Netto," Draco said, "My mother, Purity and I can manipulate space and time to create space rips that allows us to visit the other universes so we can watch how events play out. This time we decided to watch universes that use the same PET Technology premise. Each universe have totally different events but they have the same premise. Interestingly, all of them start with a scientist's great discover that forever changed the world."
"Now then, each universe is labeled by a letter," Draco explains, "Universe A is your old home universe in which your old friends and family labeled you for dead. What I do envision is that they now have PET models that are attached to the wrist instead of the upper arm." "What! They're out of style now!" Netto said in disbelief . "Let me finish!" Draco hissed, "Now then Universe A is under threat of a new syndicate called Nova or something." He paused and cleared his throat before continuing. "Universe B is where you currently live. What was truly fascinated about was that this universe had a long history of magic and had started using PET Technology recently. It's about to catch up to A's advances in several years. Universe C is where a pair of twins named Seimai and Koudou Kazami face many threats with their Navis Buster and Blade. This is the most advanced out of all the universes. Universe D is the second most advanced but has a dark history and most of the PET Technology is for bad intentions to cause harm to others. Universe A is third and Universe B is the last."
"So all these four universes are connected?!" Netto asked. "That's right..." Draco said, "But first would like a history lesson on these universes and how they were split in the first place?" Netto nodded as he leaned in more, sure in the past he could careless about the history of anything, but he was a bit older and that what someone said about someone or something's past could shed some light. "Very well..." Draco said, "It all started when me and Purity were watching over a world that was advancing in the PET Technology. We called the rise of PET Technology, the Network Era. Then overtime we saw at least three other universes that use the same concept of the PET. We called them the Network Universes and split them into A, B, C, and D. Universe A is where your grandfather, Tadashi Hikari, was in competition with Albert Wily in which one of their researches will get funded. As expected we saw that your grand father's research won over instead of Wily's, fueled by his hatred and jealously he vowed revenge, but you stopped him and since then Wily has shown no current interest in destroying Net Society anymore. Universe B is where you currently live, Net Navis have recently appeared and since there was long history of magic, the progress for the PET is slowly getting popular . The society is still getting used to this new concept and has already established rules. Universe C is already far ahead in the PET Technology and both humans and net navis alike can travel between the two worlds at will. Universe D is the same but had taken a dark path and well is trying to recover from a recent take over from a power hungry tyrant."
"So if I take this portal, I might go into another universe, that is similar to mine?" Netto asked. "If you put that way then yeah..." Draco said. Netto looks up to the cyber sky and swears that he will meet his old friends and family and his new sister friend, Sapphire Raven.
'Onee-san, if you can here me, I wish you could help me find my way home...' Netto thought as he puts his hand over his chest, where heart was.
A/N: And that is the revision of my second installment of the Time for Paradise series. The next chapter will focus on my fan characters Sapphire Raven and FlowerGirlEXE.
