Chapter 2

Rockman showed his friends the location of the three legendary netnavis. Their size was bigger than Gutsman or Glide. One netnavi resembles a phoenix with sharp wings almost like Falzar's wings. The second resembles a cyborg wolf like Gregar. Although, to Rockman's surprise, the wolf netnavi was programmed to become four-legged and even two-legged. Finally, the last netnavi resembles a legendary dragon with each element of fire, water, earth, and even wind.

"Wow," Roll said. "They're really asleep. How can we wake them up?"

"Beats me," Iceman said while poking one of the sleeping netnavis.

"Leave it to me *de gutsu*," Gutsman exclaimed walking up to the sleeping netnavis. "May I Dekao?"

"Go right ahead Gutsman. Let them know how awesome you are."

Gutsman takes a huge deep breath. "GUTSMAN'S THE GREATEST!"

To their surprise, the netnavis woke up startled from Gutsman's scream. One of them loaded his weapon and pointed frantically from the unknown noise. Another netnavi released his flaming sword in self-defense and almost attacked Gutsman.

"What the heck?" Wolf netnavi exclaimed. "Who decided to screech at our ears?"

"Mr. Hikari what is the meaning of this?" Phoenix netnavi asked.

"I'm glad you're awake," Yuuichiro said. "My son Hikari Netto has brought his friends here at my lab and they really want to meet you guys."

"At least tell us instead of having big guy here screaming at us." Dragon netnavi said complaining.

"Ha ha very funny *guts guts*." Gustman said.

"*ahem*. Anyways, I'm Rockman and these are my friends Roll, Gutsman, Glyde, and Iceman."

"Greetings. I am Phoenixman. Mr. Hikari was talking about you guys. It's an honor." Phoenixman replied.

"Hello. I'm Canineman. Netnavi with awesome battle chips. If you're interested, come to my shop soon." Canineman said.

"And I'm Dracoman. Dragon netnavi with the power of every element." Dracoman replied.

"Wow they're really cool dad." Netto said with excitement. "My dad told me that you guys worked with SciLab for a long time. Have you heard of Dr. Hikari, my grandfather?"

"Of course," Phoenixman replied. "We worked at the SciLab building with your grandfather and your father years ago. We help decode certain programs, delete a lot of viruses, and even create our own security program for their computers so powerful no virus would dare to enter. One scientist named Dr. Cossack had created a netnavi to become independent. (used Vol 6 from the manga. Give credit to the author and the artist from the book) named Forte. We taught him many computer programs, how to delete viruses, and we even taught him how to create a netnavi by using his coding data. Until the incident."

"Oh my. What happened?" Meiru asked.

Sighing in dismay, Phoenixman opens a huge screen and inserts a tiny chip. "Perhaps this would explain."

Starting the Video

"It's Forte! He's destroying the main CPU!"

"Stop him! He must not get to his netnavi!"

Countless of security netnavis were doing their best to set up a strong barrier to prevent Forte from reaching to the laboratory. To their horror, they watch as Forte emerges from the smoke with the Neo Variable Sword already formed on his right arm. "I've come to take my netnavi back from you lowly life humans!" Forte demanded. "Tell me where she is and no harm will come to you."

"Forget it Forte!" one of the security netnavis exclaimed. "There is no way we're giving your netnavi back to you. She's a threat to the whole cybernet especially created from you. That monster must be locked up."

"She is not a monster. She's-"

Startled, the security netnavi started to laugh. "Are you serious? The Black Shadow is in love with that monster? How pathetic. We netnavis don't have 'feelings'. For you to have feelings towards that netnavi you created is really sickening."

Filled with anger and hatred, Forte charges right towards the netnavi for the kill. However, a claw grabbed his right arm and broke the sword. Then, his arm was wrenched behind him and he was shoved to the ground.

"That is enough Forte."

"Phoenixman. You dare to defy me as well?" Forte said, struggling to get the heavy weight off of him.

"Look, I know how you feel about having something or someone very important to you taken away, but you have to trust Dr. Hikari and the rest of the scientist of SciLab that they're taking good care of her."

"But you don't know how s-"

Suddenly, the whole area started to tremor. Then, the tremor started to increase and to their horror, the barrier that they set up shattered. The laboratory net area started to break apart followed by a loud roar.

"Something's coming!"

"All units log out!"

Just as soon as the netnavis started to log out; a huge claw hand broke through the locked area and grabbed one of the security netnavis to be devoured.

"What is that?" Phoenixman asked silently.

No. Forte thought. It can't be.

"Phoenixman!" Canineman yelled running up to him and Dracoman following. "It's one of those wolf virus beast but bigger. We have to log out."

However, before Phoenixman could reply, the virus beast glares at the four netnavis and prepares to sink its fangs towards them.

"G-e- o-t"

***STATIC***

End of Video.

Phoenixman ejects the small disk. "That's all we could show you. The rest was complete static after the incident."

"But, what happen after you guys encounter the virus beast?" Rockman asked.

"The virus beast you guys saw was none other than Forte's netnavi Wolfrio. Forte tried everything to bring her back to normal, but he was heavily wounded due to the beast's attack. Dr. Hikari your grandfather was lucky enough to put the virus beast in freeze mode and send it to some unknown area. However, the SciLab building started to go in flames. The only thing we remembered is when our operators put us in sleep mode and told us to find Wolfrio before Forte does. So, will you help us?"

Rockman felt uneasy in finding a netnavi who holds the power of a virus beast. How someone created by Forte could ever transform into something monstrous to not only destroy the whole cybernet, but maybe the whole planet? He heard of Gregar and Falzar being that powerful, but somehow, this unknown virus could be even more powerful than Gregar and Falzar combined. "Should we help them Netto-kun?"

Netto looks at Rockman. He could tell that he's feeling unsure about the netnavi that they're going to look for. "We'll do whatever it takes to find Forte's netnavi. If that virus beast is that powerful, then my dad and the rest of the SciLab scientist will do anything to get rid of the beast inside of her. Right guys?"

Just like Rockman, his friends and their netnavis were also unsure of helping the legendary netnavis, but they agree of doing this mission. Later on, Yuuichiro walks to his office and grabs a certain disc labeled WARNING. Then, he returns back to Netto and his friends.

"I was trusted by some unknown scientist to hold on to the disk," Mr. Hikari explained showing Netto and his friends the disc. "Also, inside of this case is an anonymous note explaining about the netnavi."

Each filled with curiosity, Netto and the gang grab the note and begin to read.

YEAR 200X

TIME - 20:45,

IF YOU'RE READING THIS NOTE, THEN I'LL BE DEAD FROM THE BURNING SCILAB BUILDING. WE SHOULDN'T TAKE FORTE'S NETNAVI AWAY FROM HIM, BUT IT WAS DR. COSSACK'S ORDER. DAYS BEFORE, WE ANALYZED AND STUDIED WOLFRIO, BUT TO OUR SURPRISE, AN UNKNOWN DATA HAD INTERUPPTED THE ANALYZING PROCESS WHICH CAUSED WOLFRIO TO SHUTDOWN FOR 5 MINUTES UNTIL SHE REBOOTED AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COLLECT A LITTLE OF THE UNKNOWN DATA AND TRANSFERED IT TO AN EMPTY DISC. I GAVE THE DISC TO DR. HIKARI'S SON, YUUICHIRO HIKARI FOR SAFEKEEPING. HOWEVER, FORTE STARTED TO INVADE THE LAB CYBERNET AND DESTROYING THE CPU. THEN, TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, THE NETNEAVI THAT JUST REBOOTED SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR AND A HUGE VIRUS BEAST ATTACKED THE SCILAB NET. DR. HIKARI SENT THE BEAST SOMEWHERE UNKNOWN, BUT IT'S TOO LATE. THE BUILDING AND THE LAB STARTED TO COLLAPSE. OUR RESEARCH, OUR HARDWORK TO IMPROVE TECHNOLOGY, IS BURNING. I TOLD THE THREE OPERATORS TO TELL THEIR NETNAVIS PHOENIXMAN, CANINEMAN, AND DRACOMAN TO FIND WOLFRIO BEFORE WE PUT THEM IN SLEEPMODE. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GIVE WOLFRIO THE DISC. I HEARD THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN TO HER IF SHE REACTS TO IT SO THERE IS A CHIP THAT CAN DEFRAGMENT WOLFRIO TO NORMAL IF POSSIBLE. SO PLEASE FIND HER AND FIX HER. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.

~ANONYMOUS.

"I'll go locate the chip for the netnavi," Mr. Hikari said. "It's getting late and you guys should head home. Let me know if you guys find her."

"Okay dad. I'll see you later. Jack out Rockman," Netto said.

"Roger Netto-kun.

"We'll look for Wolfrio as well," Phoenixman said. "Thank you and let's meet again everyone."


ACDC Town-Netto's Bedroom

"Netto-kun this is the fifth time that we searched in that area and there is still no sign of the netnavi. Let's call it for the night. You have school tomorrow," Rockman said already tired.

"*sigh* You're right Rockman. Goodnight," Netto said while heading to his bed.

Maybe it's best that I take a nap too. Rockman thought. After all, I have to wake him up again. Let me check my BBS if Roll and the others have found the netnavi.

Rockman turns around and walks over to the BBS for any information about the netnavi, but suddenly, Mr. Program runs up to Rockman surprised.

"ROCKMAN! ROCKMAN! ROCKMAN!" Mr. Program shouted.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Rockman asked now worried.

"Th-Th-There's a stray netnavi right by your BBS board."

Rockman runs up to the location and to his surprise, he finds the netnavi that they were looking for lying on the ground by his BBS.
