It was a quiet night on the net. Very few viruses were hanging around and the last of the chip shop managers had just jacked out. Most of the viruses themselves were sleeping, and the Mystery Data packets had been left out to continue spinning for those who wanted to find them tomorrow morning. In the Graveyard Area of the Undernet, however, something was happening that would change the way the way data can fuse and diffuse…Forever.

"Brother!" The teenage boy screamed as he flung straight up in his bed, breathing heavily after he woke up from his nightmare. The boy's messy navy hair seemed to blow very little in the harsh winds that came in through his window, though that would be expected since there was a screen that blocked out most of the winter winds. He was about 17 years of age, and yet he could still not forget the accident that separated him from his younger brother so long ago. Over in his closet hung the police jacket he had received when he joined the Internet Security Squad, even though he had no Navi at the time.
"…Just a dream…" He reassured himself before he slowly turned to his right and got out of bed, slipping on his socks and shoes before taking the jacket off its hangar and putting it on. The jacket was a bit smaller than it was yesterday, but he didn't care. It was a gift from his father who had died last year in a car accident, which had also critically injured his mother, which has left her bedridden in the nearby hospital since that day. The boy afterwards went over to the small laptop he had received for his 14th birthday and opened the lid, causing the screen to flicker a bit before connecting him to the internet.
"…Wonder if the squad has anything new to report…"It only took a few moments, but before he knew what had happened, his computer screen had flashed before the Police Alerts had filled up his screen, all of which had related to one single thing.
Data Anomalies.
"How is that such a big threat…Its nothing serious…Just a few stray fragments of data starting to have bugs in them…That's all." But he was wrong. A few minutes after he had logged onto his Ghost Account, which on the net would look like the boy himself, but with a hologram appearance, several errors had popped up onto his screen. "Whoa…Didn't expect that to happen." After all the errors had been displayed, he decided to reroute them into the Battle Program he had installed 3 days prior to the Upgrade he had performed that would make sure he would not lose his connection to the Net, soon afterwards running the program to find that it wasn't a virus's doing… What he found instead, was the shadows of 3 different Navis, with two resembling Bass with a sword, and the other looking like all the different HubStyle variations fused into one, but with slightly different colors for the Earpiece and Heart Program, as well as differently colored BugMarks.
"…You've come at last…Let's see if you're really what the legends state you are…"
