Chapter 2

"Magnetman!" Rockman said, surprised to find Magnetman on the school's server. Rockman saw that Magnetman had put up his barrier to block five attacking bat viruses.

"What happened?" Rockman turned around to find Searchman kneeling next to a injured Blues. Blues looked awful; he had several cuts and there was data gushing out of the deeper wounds. His visor was cracked.

"I went to several servers to see if I could contact Enzan-sama from there but," Blues stopped talking to tighten his grip on his left arm where the deeper wounds were, "I got ambushed by ten bat viruses on the way. I managed to delete five with the help of Magnetman, but the remaining ones were just too strong. So I logged into the closest server I could find."

"You were lucky Magnetman was with you," Rockman mumbled.

"I know," Blues nodded.

"We ain't gonna be that lucky!" Magnetman shouted from behind his barrier. "I can't keep this up much longer!"

"Rockbuster!"

Pink gun shots hit the bats but even thought they were caught off guard they just continued firing their pulses like nothing had happened.

"They really are getting stronger," Rockman said, lowering his Rockbuster to look at the attacking bats, trying to find an explanation for their increasing power.

"Don't stop attacking!" Blues grunted. "We have to delete them."

"Right!" Rockman nodded and fired more of his shots. Searchman also attacked the bats from behind Magnetman with his gun. It seems that their attacks didn't work at all. It was as if the bats didn't feel the shots, or maybe they were too busy to remember they were being shot at. The bats continued to attack Magnetman.

"Can't..h-hold on," Magnetman mumbled. By now his barrier had shrunk to half it's original size and Magnetman looked like he could collapse any second now.

"Netto-kun!" Rockman yelled into space, hoping that his Net Op would finally hear him and give him some battle chips. "I need you!"

"Argh!" Magnetman's barrier broke and he was catapulted backwards. He landed on his back and didn't move.

"Magnetman!" Rockman yelled.

"Rockman the bats," Searchman called. "They're coming!" The bats were now flying towards them at high speed, gathering energy to fire their pulse attacks.

"Rockbuster!" Again several shots were fired at the bats, and again they didn't even flinch when they got hit.

"NETTO-KUN!"

----------------------------------------------------------

"Rockman," Roll sighed as she sat on the edge of the fountain along with Tomahawkman and Iceman. "I hope he's alright."

"Me too," Tomahawkman said. Roll and the others had been waiting by the fountain for Rockman to return for a long time.

"Hibiki-san?" Roll looked up. Two navi's had just found out about the black screen. The other navi tried to open her screen but it was also black. A quick look around told Roll that many navis had just found out about the communication block. They all had the same shocked expression on their faces.

"Well," Medi said as she, Numberman, and Gutsman walked up to the fountain. "We've been through the whole city but no one can contact their Net Op's."

"Just like I thought, de gutsu." Gutsman sighed and he sat down next to Iceman. "Rockman still not back?"

"No," Iceman said. "Not yet."

"He'll be back soon," Medi smiled hoping it would encourage the others, but it didn't work.

"I hope so," Roll sighed again and she looked down to stare at her feet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What the," Rockman mumbled as he stood face to face with a bat that seemed to be frozen in the air just a few centimetres away from him. The five remaining bats suddenly had stopped flying towards Rockman and Searchman and were just hanging in mid-air.

"Strange," Searchman said lowering his gun as he stared at the bats.

"Ah, Magnetman!" Rockman yelled and he turned around to search for the big red navi.

"I'm ok," Magnetman answered as he slowly got up on his feet and stumbled over to Blues, who also was back on his feet but still clutching his arm.

"What happened to them?" Magnetman asked pointing at the still frozen bats. Rockman walked around one of them and carefully touched it, but it didn't move a bit.

"I don't know," he said.

"I know." Rockman jumped when he suddenly heard a voice.

"W-what?" Searchman said looking around, searching for the person who was interfering in their conversation. "Who's there?!"

"I am." The voice answered.

'And just who is 'I'?" Magnetman asked, also looking around. For a while it was silent and the four navi's kept quiet too. Rockman and Searchman had their guns out and ready.

"Over here."

Rockman and Searchman quickly turned around to see a navi logging in on the server a few steps away from them. When the colourful pixels finally vanished they revealed a smiling girl.

"A...girl?" Searchman blinked as he started at the girl. She looked very young, almost like a ten year old, wearing a white strapless dress was decorated with golden stars and beige clouds. She had short blond hair, a white helmet with three blue stripes with a big golden star in the middle. In her arms she was cradling a brown teddy bear who had a crescent moon as a left eye and a heart serving as the right.

"Did you just say that you froze these bats?" Rockman gently asked the smiling girl as he pointed at the bats.

"Uh-huh," she said with a big nod. "I can freeze things with my mind."

No one actually knew how to respond to this. Rockman looked over to Searchman who just shrugged and Magnetman and Blues looked at each other. "Maybe you guys know where I can find my sister," The girl said still with a giant smile on her face.

"Your sister?" Blues asked staring at the girl, amazed at how she changed the subject so quickly.

"Yes." She smiled and waited for an answer.

"We, uhm, don't know your sister," Rockman said. "And there's no one else here but us."

"So you don't know where my sister is?" The girl asked, her smile slowly fading away.

"No, sorry," Rockman said.

"Oh well," The girl said and she looked at Rockman. "Then there's no reason to keep these bats frozen, is there?"

"Huh?" Rockman said, he quickly dodged a virus as it began moving. The other bats also began to move, they seemed slightly confused but they restored and continued attacking with their pulses.

"Rockbuster!" The pink gun shots flew at the bats, hitting them again. Searchman, Blues and Magnetman also attacked. For a long time the attacks and smoke were filling up the server. The bats didn't seemed to get hurt even thought they were being hit constantly. The navi's, however, did get hurt by the pulses the bats shot at them.

It felt like the battle had gone on for days and days, but eventually one of the viruses got deleted and, after a long fight, all of the five viruses were deleted. "They're gone," Rockman puffed as he leaned on his knees.

"Finally." Rockman and the others looked up as they heard someone laugh. It was the girl. "That was fun to watch." She laughed holding her teddy bear in front of her mouth. "Let's do that again!"

"NO!" The four navi's yelled at her. The girl looked at them for a second before laughing again.

"You have to tell me what's so funny little girl!" Magnetman yelled at her, "Because I can't find the humour here!"

"Well you don't have to yell," she said and she stopped laughing to glare at Magnetman. "It's your fault you didn't know where my sister was."

"Our fault?!" Rockman said. "How can it be our fault?"

"Because I said so," The girl huffed and she turned away from them.

"I'm not gonna listen to some bratty little kid!" Magnetman yelled and he began to charge at the girl.

"Magnetman!" Rockman yelled after him. Magnetman ignored him and charged at the girl, he was closing in on her, not caring about the calls of his friends. He was about to hit her with his full weight but got stuck in the air just a feet away from her. It seemed the girl had turned around and she had raised up her right hand. Rockman watched with open mouth as Magnetman hung about three seconds in the air before falling on the ground motionless.

"Goodnight." The girl smiled as she looked at Magnetman who laid at her feet. "My name is not 'bratty little kid' you know; it's Somnia."

Somnia gave Rockman, Searchman and Blues one big smile before she logged out with her teddy bear pinned under her left arm.

"Magnetman!" Rockman was the first to move. He ran to Magnetman, followed by Searchman and a stumbling Blues. Rockman knelt beside Magnetman and turned him around so he could see his face. His eyes where closed and he was breathing steady. "Magnetman!" Rockman yelled shaking him a little. "Open your eyes! Magnetman!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How long have they been gone already?" Tomahawkman sighed. "I'm starting to go crazy just sitting here and not doing anything!"

"They'll be back any second now," Numberman said with his arms crossed. The group still waited by the fountain, trying to kill the time. Iceman was making ice sculptures as Gutsman and Roll watched him and clapped. And as if Rockman could read Numberman's mind, Searchman, Blues, Rockman and the unconscious Magnetman logged in by the fountain.

"Rockman!" Roll said happily, but the smile on her face dropped when she saw that they laid Magnetman on the ground. "W-what happened?" she asked as everyone was surrounding Magnetman. Rockman began explained about the bats and Somnia while Medi and Searchman were checking Magnetman.
