Juliet: Here's chapter two! I haven't been able to update any of my stories because of school. But I will make sure to update them soon.

Dingo and Erin arrived at the airport about 20 minutes before their plane was supposed to board. They were taking a public plane instead of a private jet like Dingo sometimes did when he went on missions. But Baryl said that this would be less noticeable, but he did manage to get them first class tickets. They stood outside of their exit, waiting for the plane to board.
"How much longer?" Dingo asked for what seemed like the 10th time in the last five minutes.
"We still have about 10 minutes left Dingo." Erin answered to spare Tomahawkman the trouble of yelling at Dingo…again. "Just try to relax."
"Sorry, I'm just bored." Dingo said then looked over at Erin. A question popped into Dingo's head. "Hey Erin, have you ever been to Dentech?" Dingo asked. Since he had no idea what Dentech looked like, it would be nice to have someone show him around if they couldn't find Lan.
"Actually, yes. My uncle lives there and I was raised there." Erin said, looking over at Dingo. "My uncle used to work at Scilabs with Lan's father. So we were good friends growing up."
"Really? I guess I'm following you then." Dingo said smiling and Erin nodded before they were interrupted by Lilly.
"Hey, your guy's plane is early, it's boarding now! Hurry or you'll miss it." Lilly warned and Erin picked up his small backpack off of the ground. "Let's go then." Erin said before he started to walk to the halls that lead them to their plane. Dingo picked up his suitcase and followed him. "Why did he only bring a small backpack?" Dingo thought then pushed it aside, it wasn't really important anyways.
The bell rang and the young students saw was a flash of brown run past them and through the door. It was Lan who seemed to be in a hurry. Maylu, Dex, and Yai sighed.
"What's his hurry? He told me that we were going to practice our netbattling skills after school!" Dex yelled as he left the class room with the two girls.
"He told me that one of his friends from Netopia is coming here. He wanted to meet up with them." Maylu said as they left the school building.
"He still didn't have to run out like that!" Yai complained as her limo pulled up. "Come on, we're going to catch up with him!" Maylu and Dex nodded and got into the limo with Yai.

Lan skated up to the Scilabs building and started to head up to his father's lab.
"Was it ok to leave the others like that?" Megaman said as they came close to Dr. Hikari's lab.
"They'll understand, I'll just practice with Dex later." Lan said as he opened the door's to his father's lab. He walked in and saw his father sitting at his computer with two teenage boys next to him. One he recognized right away. "Hey Dingo!" He said happily as he went over to his friend.
Dingo turned around and saw Lan. "Yo Lan! Long time no see!!" he said as he gave his friend a playful punch on the arm. That to Lan actually hurt.
"Yeah it has been awhile." Lan said before looking up at the other boy with dark blue hair, he could've sworn that he knew this guy from somewhere.
Erin noticed Lan's expression and turned towards him as well. "Aw come on Lan, you don't remember me?"
Lan thought for a moment. He defiantly knew that voice from somewhere. That's when he remembered.
"Megaman! Are you ok?!" a smaller Lan yelled (Age:8) yelled into his PET at his slightly injured navi.
"I-I'm fine Lan, sorry I lost…" Megaman said looking up at his Net-op with a sad face.
"Hey, That was a good battle." Lan looked up to see the person who he had just lost the netbattle to. He was about 2 years older than him with short bark blue hair, sunglasses over his eyes and he was wearing all black. "If you train a little harder you could be an excellent net battler."
"Really?! You think so?" Lan's eyes shined when he said this.
"Yeah, hey how about this, I'll train you. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to beat me one day." The boy said with a smiled.
"That would be awesome!" The young said with excitement. "Thank you..uh..what's your name?"
"Call me Erin."
"E-Erin?" Lan said in disbelief, the person who had taught him almost everything he knows about netbattling was standing right in front of him for the first time in years. Lan's thoughts about this were interrupted by Erin putting him in a headlock and giving him a noggie.
"There you go. Glad to know I left an impression on you Lanny." Erin said with a smirk on his face while he messed up the brunette's hair.
"H-Hey! Cut it out! And I told you not to call me that!" Lan yelled at Erin and Erin finally let go of him.
"Whatever Lanny." Erin said.
"Sorry to interrupt the moment." Dr. Hikari suddenly said and the three teens looked at him. "But could you jack in your guy's navis into this computer? I'll explain in a second." He said and the teens looked at each other then they all got out their PET's and jacked in their navis.
Tomahawkman, Megaman and Lilly appeared in the cyber world.
"Hey Megaman!" Tomahawkman said to his blue friend.
"Hey Tomahawkman, Hey Lilly, Long time no see!" He said then Dr. Hikari began speaking again.
"Alright, I'll explain what's going on." He started and the navis looked up at the screen that Dr. Hikari appeared on. "I'm going to ask permission to separate the program that Erin and Dingo gave me and split it up between your guy's programs." He said before turning to the net-ops.
"Why would you do that dad?" Lan asked.
"This program is too important to lose. I wish to install parts of the program into your navis so that it will be safe for the time being." Dr. Hikari explained.
"I'm fine with it." Erin said and Dingo looked at him then looked at their PET's
"What' about you Tomahawkman? You ok with it?" Dingo asked.
"It's for the mission right? I'm fine with it." He said in reply.
"And you Megaman?" Lan asked.
"If your fine with it then I'm fine with it." Megaman said
"If it's decided then I'm going to ask for you three to get in the capsules that are about to appear behind you." Dr. Hikari said to the navis as he turned back around and pushed a few keys on his keyboard.
The navis turned around to see three capsules appear behind them. They look at each other before they climbed into the capsules and laid down in them. The lid closed over them and some sort of gas came into the camber. The gas caused them to go into sleep mode.
"How long is this going to take?" Dingo asked.
"About an hour at most. Keep your PET's with you, I'll send them to you when it's done." Dr. Hikari said as he pushed a few more keys on the keyboard. "You guys can go if you want until then." Just as Dr. Hikari said this, Maylu, Dex and Yai walked into the lab.
"Guys?! What are you doing here?" Lan asked as he looked towards the door. Dingo and Erin looked as well, though they were slightly confused.
"You left without saying anything! We were suppose to netbattle after school remember?" Dex yelled at Lan and everyone in the room had an anime sweatdrop moment.
Maylu noticed Erin and Dingo and decided to change the subject before a fight broke out. "Are you Lan's friends from Netopia?" She asked and they nodded.
"I'm Dingo and this is Erin." He said and that caused Dex and Yai to look at them.
"Erin?" Maylu asked looking over at Erin. "Wow! You've changed!"
"I would say the same about you May." Erin said walking over to them. "Listen, netbattling can wait, can we get something to eat? I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry." He said, trying to avoid having to explain why Lan can't netbattle right now.
"Yeah me too. The plane ride over here was long as heck." Dingo said walking over to the group.
"Then we'll all go to eat, my treat." Yai said and the group cheered before walking out of Scilabs.
