Chapter 1

The Power of Duo

Lan ran down the road and turned the corner, he had just received word of some trouble at a local warehouse. As soon as he entered he saw a familiar looking navi standing in the middle of it. He saw her in his dream the night before. "My name is Slur. I sounded a false alarm because your help is needed." The navi said making Lan take a few steps back.

"What do you mean, my help is needed?" Lan asked unsure of the navi before him. There was no dimensional area, so how was she standing before him.

"My master has detected an extremely evil entity on this planet. He has many followers all of which are great in power." Slur paused to make sure Lan wasn't sleeping. "My master told me to find 4 suitable people to fight this entity and I have chosen you, Lan Hikari to be the leader."

"What me leader I don't think so good bye!" Lan said before running off.

Later that day Lan walked into Higsby's Chip Shop to buy some new battlechips "Hi Shuko!" Lan said to the girl behind the counter. Suddenly a high pitched sound shattered the glass. Lan looked out side to see Shademan standing outside. "Shademan, but how can he be here with out a..." Lan was cut off by another high pitched sound from Shademan.

"Lan we need to crossfuse before he causes to much trouble!" Megaman shouted from Lan's PET.

Lan immediately called Famous for a Dimensional Area. He got the usual remark from Famous before the Dimensional Area materialized. "Synchro Chip in! Download! Cross Fusion!" Lan said as he crossfused with Megaman.

"Hello Megaman, Lan, nice to see the two of you but you are no match for me. Noise Crush!" Shademan said launching another sound attack at CF Megaman.

"Dang it, Megaman I forgot the battlechips!" Lan said in a panicked tone. Shademan was right on top of him, foot about to slam down on the insignia. That is when Netto heard the voice in his head.

'Your help is needed, you can help. You can stop the evil but first you need to stop Shademan.' Slur's voice rang through Lan's head.

'If you agree to stop the dark entity I sensed I will help you now.' a different voice rang through Lan's head.

"DEAL!" Lan shouted making Shademan lift his foot slightly. Suddenly his right hand started to glow purple "Huh? What's going on?"

'This is some of my power. Feel it course through you, feel it empower you! For this is just a sample of the power of Duo!' The voice said again and CF Megaman stood up, pushing Shademan away.

"Lets give it a try!" CF Megaman said as he placed his right hand on his symbol. "DUO BLUE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. A bright light consumed his body forming a new outfit. The outfit was almost completely blue, the belt was gray with the Crest of Duo as a belt buckle. On the top left side of his chest was the name Duo on a silver tag, in the center of his chest was Megaman's symbol, the only part of the outfit that wasn't blue, other than the Cyan strip at the top of his gloves, and boots. His helmet's visor was shaped just like the Crest of Duo, and he had the standard silver mouth cover.

"What is that?" Shademan asked in a surprised tone staring at the figure before him.

"Time for me to take out the trash!" Lan said as his visor showed him the different abilities of his suit. He raised his right hand and the glove turned into what resembled the MegaBuster. He fired several shots, sure they weren't as strong as when crossfused but the visor said the suit could enhance his speed, and physical strength. It also noted that it was as protective as cross fusion.

The attack seemed to do nothing more than make Shademan laugh. But Lan seemed to of expected that because he took that as his opportunity to rush at Shademan using enhanced speed then punch his symbol with enhanced strength. Shademan stumbled back then vanished. As the dimensional area faded Lan was consumed in a bright blue light and vanished.

Next thing Lan new he was in a stone room, still in the odd blue uniform. The female navi from earlier stood across from him and behind her was the image of a very large navi. A table for three sat at the center of the room. Computer screens lined the walls. "Welcome to the Command Comet, I already introduced my self. That however is my master, Duo!" Slur said as soon as Lan was finished taking in his surroundings.

"What am I doing here?"

"We didn't want anyone outside of your fellow rangers to know the identity of the rangers. Though the enemy tends to find out, that cannot be helped. The more that know who you are the harder it is for one to fight." Duo spoke.

"So how do I turn back, and what do you mean fellow rangers?"

"These are your fellow rangers." Slur said as Jasmine, and Ribbita walked in.

"But..." Lan started to talk only to get cut off.

"Hi I my name is Jasmine!" The girl who was around Lan's age said introducing herself.

"Nice to see you again Lan." Ribbita said looking around imagining what a great story she could do up there.

"All Slur told them after giving them the offer is that you had just agreed to help. They had no problem with joining as soon as they heard that! I know you want to know why they didn't help, it's because they didn't join till right after you morphed." Duo said explaining a few things.

"Morph?" Lan questioned

"As in Metamorphosis, meaning to change!" came a response from Ribbita.

"One second, how does she no of me?" Lan asked looking at Jasmine.

"Lan Hikari, you are famous, you stopped WWW, and Grave plus you were the first success full Cross Fusion. Your dad is Yuuichirou Hikari, of Hikari labs, currently located in SciLab." Jasmine said.

"Oh" Was Lan's reply. He reached up and felt around his helmet, he found some clasps on the sides at the bottom. He unclasped and removed the helmet. "So how do we change at will?"

"I will tell you that after you get your morphers. I used my power directly to make you morph Lan. That is why they couldn't join you I need my power to keep an eye on the earth." Duo said and Slur held out three objects that were shaped like the Crest of Duo. They were attached to color bands, one blue, one white, and one green. All the morphers were black with a clear diamond in the center.

Suddenly Lan's outfit vanished, the energy he had been given had exhausted and he now held his PET3 and Synchro Chip in his hands. Slur grabbed both his PET and Synchro Chip before walking off with the morpher that had the blue band. A few minutes later she came back and put the device on Lan's wrist. the crystal was now a sapphire. She handed, Jasmine the white device, and Ribbita took the green.

"In these morphers are Synchro Chips, they are the fuel for the morphing sequence that is why not just any one could be chosen as a Duo Ranger." Slur said and everyone glanced at Duo.

"Only those with similar wavelengths between one and one's navi, can cross fuse. And if one is capable of success full Cross Fusion then one is a possible Duo Ranger. You three are the most synchronized ones so far." Duo commented.

"What about our PETs?"

"Good question Lan, your morphers have been combined with the PETs so with a twist of the wrist you get the Duo PET!" Duo said causing Lan, Jasmine and Ribbita to twist the wrists that their morphers were on. They sudenly became wrist sized PET 3s. "As you can see that is how you switch from Duo PET to Duo Morpher. If anyone asks about the PETs they are 3 of a kind no more exist nor can be made. That is what you are to tell them, and no morphing in anyone's sight." Duo said before signaling Slur to teleport them all home.
