Chapter 2: Rebellious People

Netto gathered at the crowded Apple store, pushing his way through the crowds of people as some of them randomly yelled things like, "Get back in line, kid!" or "Go to hell," and the list goes on and on. There was only one reason why people would say such things-

"GIVE US OUR DAMN iPHONES!!" yelled people from the crowd.

[[Me: Shut up, damn you people. I'm trying to tell a story here!]]

"We don't care, just give us our mother effin iPhones!"

[[Me: . . . NETTO HURRY UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM!! Everyone knows how Apple fanboys/fangirls are...]]

"E... Enzan. I'm here? What's the problem?" said Netto.

"If you haven't already noticed, Hikari, that there's a virus within this Apple store's computers, and now there are over a hundred angry people that will eat us whole if we don't take care of it," he replied. "Plug in, Blues! Transmission!"

"But I thought Apple's don't get viruses. . ."

"Netto, this is no time to kid around, although I must admit, that IS true."

"Fine, fine. Plug in, RockmanEXE! Transmission!"

Rockman and Blues landed within the store's network, seeing not just one, but many Mettool viruses. They were swarming everywhere around the network, while some of them honestly tried their hardest to text with the virtual iPhones.

The sight was unbelievable, none the less.

"You've got to be kidding me," said Blues while Enzan fed him a WideSword battle chip.

"I guess not everyone can wait to get an iPhone," joked Rockman, as he shot as many Mettools he could with his Rock Buster.

Blues couldn't help but smile a little when Rockman said this, and Rockman did see that. Knowing that Blues never smiled (unless he was an evil Dark Blues), he himself smiled a bit, and his face just barely became a shade of light pink.

Blues, like Rockman, never misses a thing, and his own face started matching his armour a bit more, although, no one could really tell because half of his face is covered, and he was mostly red, so his face could blend just fine.

Rockman was too busy with his own thoughts and shooting the crap out of the viruses to even notice anything more.

Blues slashed at a field full of viruses with his WideSword while Netto gave Rockman a shotgun. The wide-radius impact deleted many of the viruses, but there were still a lot of them.

However, being only Mettools (a noob virus), it didn't take them much longer to eliminate them all. A few mini bombs did the trick.

After the swarm of little Mettools were eliminated, Rockman and Blues logged out of the network, but just as Rockman logged out, he caught a glimpse of a tiny light in the corner of his eye.

Everything seemed back to normal though, but the crowd was just as rowdy as ever.

"Like, oh my god, I can't like, thank you guys enough for like, saving my entire store!" exclaimed the store's manager. "To show our sincere thanks and gratitude, we present both of you with these..." she reached into a box somewhere behind her, "little iPod socks! Aren't they adorable?"

Netto and Enzan looked at each other, then at the socks, then at the manager, then at each other again, then at the socks once more and took them.

"Um... well... we don't know what to say. Thank you..." the duo said.

"You're welcome, kiddies. Now run along, as you can see, my associates and I have much work to do," said the manager, as she pointed out to the rough crowd just a few feet from them.

"Forgive us. Have a nice day!" Enzan and Netto said.

Just then, everyone felt a little rumble in the ground. Little, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, BIGGER! In fact, it became so large that the streets cracked, making many shipments of iPhones fall into them.

They were lost forever. Netto unfortunately lost his balance and was about to follow the fate of the poor iPhones.

"Someone please help me!" Netto screamed as loud as he could. Luckily, he was light and fit enough to hold on to the edge of the crack for a few seconds, but his hand was slipping fast. Enzan heard his distress call, and without any second thoughts he rushed down to rescue his unlucky rival. He grabbed both of Netto's hands and heaved him up with the best of his abilities. Netto then met face to face with his saviour.

"E... Enzan. You... you... thanks," he said. A rosy red shade flashed across his face.

"You... you're... wel... welcome... Netto," Enzan replied. He turned away quick enough before Netto was able to see any red across his face.

"Yeah, damn these Japanese earthquakes," Netto laughed and sighed. He had almost been consumed by the city's infrastructure just by helping people get their iPhones earlier. Speaking of iPhones, the crowd wasn't very pleased. Not wasn't very... not at all.

"We want our iPhones!!! We want our iPhones!!!" they marched and chanted and yelled, though they obviously saw the fate of the devices. One would have to be insane to remain at the clutches of those Apple-obsessive consumers. Really insane.

"Umm, Enzan, let's get out of here..." Netto said.

"I couldn't agree more, for once," Enzan joked with Netto.

"Hey!"

They both stood up and fled the scene as stealthily as they could. They finally arrived at Netto's neighborhood when he realized that the sky wasn't as bright as it was before.

"Um, Enzan, it's getting late. I must go home now... Goodbye?" Netto told Enzan.

"I see. Do you need a ride home?" replied Enzan.

"No, my house is just over there," Netto pointed to his house just down the street.

"Oh, okay. Bye Netto-kun."

At that, Enzan smiled and waved goodbye to Netto. Netto dashed down the street to his house and was welcomed warmly by his parents before the door closed. Enzan continued staring at the Hikari's front door for a while more before he called his limousine and went home.

"Enzan-sama. You seemed to be in quite a state of thought back there. Is there something wrong?" asked his faithful navi, Blues.

"No, there's nothing out of the ordinary, Blues."

"As you wish."

No, there certainly was something, but he just couldn't quite figure out for himself yet. Plagued by the thought, he tried to forget about it and remembered something else:

the tremendous amount of paperwork he had to complete before he had to rush to save the computers that supposedly aren't supposed to have viruses. That made him forget instantly.
