Author's Notes: First of all, Lenore Blaze isa complete girl version of Chaud Blaze. She's kind oftaking uphis role. Chaud Blaze still exists, but as a 20-year old brother. He might be introduced later...I'm still not sure. Lenore posesses most of Chaud's characteristics: blue eyes, white-black hair,an expert netbattler, and of course, a rivalry between Lan Hikari. Also,I added a few of my own characteristics: she knows self-defense like karate, and she knows how to fence, which fits in with the plot ofPirates of theCarribean.She also carries around a long stick, which she also uses as self-defence.

Pirates of the Caribbean

By: R.Tachio

1. Port Royal

It was a bright sunny day, and Lan and his friends Yai, Maylu, Dex, and Tory have decided to go on a little vacation on the beaches of a beautiful island.

"It was such a good thing that our parents allowed us to come," Maylu, Lan's pink-haired friend said.

"I think they wanted a day off too," Yai said.

"It's a good thing you were able to secure us a ship," Lan said. "But did you have to get a ship with her on it?" Everyone stared at a girl that was sitting at the edge of the deck, a girl whom they known to be Lenore Blaze, or as she called herself, Lenore FaToren.

Everyone knew Lenore as the vice-president of the company BlazeQuest, and the expert netbattler. The girl was wearing her usual light blue collared shirt and a darkblue dress. Her long black-white hair fell down to her waist. A sword was secured on a belt around her waist, a sword that Lan knew to be a real sword. Her long stick was leaned against her chair, and her amazing blue eyes were staring, not blinking at a laptop.

"True," Dex said. "Just wish she wouldn't destroy our little vacation."

Yai blushed red and said quietly, "This was the only ship they had available. I reserved the ship only for us, but I don't have any idea how she managed to slip on board. Also, my private yacht just happened to be broken."

"Hey guys," a voice came from Lan's PET. "I think you judge her too harshly."

"Please, Megaman," Lan said, "Remember how she beat us with her netnavi, Light's Angel?"

He clutched his hands into fists and said, "One day I'll beat that girl."

If Lenore heard any of the conversation, she was doing a great job at ignoring. Her hands flew over the laptop keyboard with exceptional speed.

"C'mon, let's go change," Tory said, changing the subject. "I think I can see the faint image of the island." The five friends trotted happily into the ship and disappeared from view.

Lenore sighed and finally looked up from her laptop. That Lan Hikari, she thought. Does he really think he can beat me?

Lenore looked down to her PET. "Light's Angel," she called.

"Yes Lenore," a beautiful netnavi replied. She resembled slightly of an angel. Many people thought that was why she was named 'Light's Angel.' But Lenore knew otherwise.

"Did you have to get me on a ship with those five?"

Light's Angel hid a smile. She knew that her NetOp had waited for everyone to be gone before saying these words. She was known for her maturity and control.

"Sorry Lenore," Light's Angel said. Then she replied the same words Yai said, "This was the only ship there is."

"Oh well," Lenore said. She closed her laptop and stood up to look at the sea. The ship bobbed gently on the water. The sky was perfectly clear; such a good day to have some fun under the sun. But Lenore didn't understand the word fun. Not after her parents died. Lenore closed her eyes to try and shut away the memories. She put her laptop in her backpack and took her stick. "Really hope they don't interrupt my work," she murmured to herself. She watched as the island came closer and close to view. "Light's Angel, do you think this is going to help?"

"I think it will," came the reply.

Lan and the others played happily with a beach ball. They splashed water at each other and laughed happily. The navis were having fun too, exploring the new network and playing a game of volleyball.

Dex stopped and stared under a beach tree, which was where Lenore was sitting. "Please," he said to the others. "To come to a beach and stare at a laptop? What's the use of coming?"

"Yeah," Tory nodded with agreement. "She could've stayed home or something."

"She must haveher reasons," Maylu said. "Though at this moment, I can't think of any."

"Well," Lan said, picking the beach ball up from the ground, "if she's going to waste her day staring at a laptop, then it's her choice. I'll not waste the day discussing her." He then, unexpectedly hit the ball at Yai, who almost got hit over into the water. Lan roared with laughter.

"Wish they would quiet down," Lenore murmured. "I can't concentrate."

Light's Angel tried a suggestion: "You could go and talk to them."

"No way," Lenore replied. "Talk to Hikari? That would be the last thing I want to do." She began to stare at her laptop again. What she saw shocked her.

"Oh my gosh," she whispered. "That's impossible."

Yai felt a shake on the ground. "Do you feel that?" she asked Maylu.

"Feel what?" Lan interjected. Just then, the ground shook again.

"Ah!" Dex said, "An earthquake!"

The ground shook more and more violently. Maylu and Yai almost screamed out loud. Lan was speechless, until he saw Lenore.

"Wait a minute!" he cried. "The ground around Lenore, it doesn't seem to be shaking!"

"She did it!" Dex roared. "I know so! The reason she came here today was probably to ruin our day!"

"Calm down," Roll and Megaman called out from their PETs. "You guys should go and check before you jump to conclusions."

As the friends walked under the tree, all of them realized what Lan said was true; it wasn't shaking around Lenore.

Lenore was gazing shockingly at her computer screen.

"Hey Lenore," Tory began. "Do you feel it?"

"Feel what?" Lenore asked, still not looking up from the laptop screen.

"Of course she doesn't feel it!" Dex growled. "She caused the whole thing! Of course, she's not going to cause an earthquake around herself, right?"

"An earthquake?" Lenore finally looked up.

"Yes," Yai shuddered. "It's so terrible. The only place not shaking is around you."

"Which means it's not an earthquake, you feather-brains. Anyways, I can think of something worse than an earthquake," Lenore said.

"What?" Yai asked back, suddenly a little interested, forgetting how scared she was a minute ago.

"Hmm," Lenore said, pretending to think. "Namely, Ayano-Tech."

Lan was really angry. He gripped at Lenore's shirt collar and pulled her up. "We were scared to death you know. Tell me what on earth is going on!"

Lenore was staring at the laptop which landed in the sand. Then, in a swift motion, she threw Lan down with a karate throw and picked up her laptop.

"If you really want to know what's going on," she said, dusting the sand on her laptop, "You should ask nicely."

"Ok," Maylu said. "May we please know what is going on?"

Instead of telling them directly, Lenore said, "I'm sure all of you wondered why I came here today."

The five friends stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Lan was still rubbing his back, which still hurts from the throw.

"I came here today to write a story," Lenore continued. "A story with a setting of an island. I came here only to make sure I got all the settings right; I wanted the story tofeel real. Then, a few minutes ago, my laptop was infected with a virus." She turned the laptop towards the others. "Any of you smart enough to know what virus this is?"

All of them looked at the laptop. There was a shining symbol in one corner of the laptop. "Megaman," Lan said. "Do you know what it is?"

Megaman gasped and replied, "It's an illusion virus!"

"At least the netnavi is smarter than the NetOp," Lenore murmured. She then continued with her story. "Megaman's right. This is an illusion virus. It's really rare, yet very powerful. Illusion viruses feed on imagination. They usually attack pieces of writing. The writings attack would come true."

"What do you mean 'come true'?" Tory asked.

Lenore sighed. "It's like a virtual reality. The illusion virus would infect a whole place, and trap people they wanted to be trapped in this reality."

"Ha," Lan said smiling a bit, "and I suppose the virus chose us?"

"Yes," Lenore replied quietly. "We're trapped."

"Then, why don't we find a place to jack-in and delete all the viruses?"

It was Lenore's turn to laugh. "If you can find a place to jack-in, Hikari, I'll be surprised."

Lan decided to prove Lenore wrong. He looked around. He gasped at what he saw.

The place changed. The ship they arrived on disappeared, replaced with ships with huge masts that seemed belonged only in movies. The hotel on the island was replaced with 17-century mansions and houses, with many soldiers wearing red uniforms walking around, carrying guns and swords. A flag of England was flying high on a flagpole.

"What…" all of the five friends were left speechless.

"Welcome," Lenore said, "to Port Royal."
