John Rourke was a boy who liked Navi's. He lives with his sick grandfather. Years ago the entire city witnessed a blackout for two days because of a powerful virus called the WWW. The tale of a powerful Navi who stopped the virus inspires John to be just like him.

Prologue

The internet is the coolest place in the world! It's an archieve of unlimited possibilities, right? Not. You can't get jobs on the internet, you can't get smarter on the internet, and it's the perfect place for computer viruses. As the internet advanced from a slow, poorly encrypted database to our TV's, PSP's, to Xbox's. We go to seminar's on the internet, we can sign up for college on the internet. It's a conundrum people like me have lived with for over fifty years. Then some genius invented a way for the internet to become a worldwide, source of power. Everyone was pretty happy about it, me included.

One day a factory shut down because of excessive radiation, power, electricity they used. No one expected it was a virus more powerful then anything they've countered. They called it the WWW. It was smart enough to take over the world. But my hero, the greatest man with the greatest Navi, trampled the virus and brought power back t our city.

It's my dream I can one day be like him.

I shivered like a tree with the last leaf falling of the limbs. It was cold today. But what temperature did I think it was going to be? It's winter. I hope Grandpa doesn't make me wear a snow jacket in the house. Grandpa had to retire from the police force two years ago. Something the doctors called angina. I don't know what it means, but Grandpa doesn't like to talk about it.

School day. School day. I love a school day. The teacher's may be crabby, and the principal might be bug-eyed, but the students were awesome. There was one thing I liked to think about when I went to school. The Navi's. I liked to watch the pets in the devices fight against each other. Navi's were the guardians of the net. I wish I could have one.
