Amerella: First, we make the playing field disappear with a Geddon2 battle chip in, download. Next, we download 4 arrow battle chips.
Queen Sunstar: Barrier 200 battlechip in and download.
Amerella: Unfortunately, I planned for that move. Arrow battle chips cut through barriers.
Queen Sunstar: Jack out, Sunstar! You win.
Amerella: Of course I win. I am an official net battler with Rock as my Navi. You are just a civilian. I wrote out the next chapter while you were studying your chips and planning out your next move.
Bass: I take it I'm a civilian Navi too.
Amerella: Actually, you are my undercover Navi. Now, on to the chapter. Sun, why are you sitting inside a cube?
Queen Sunstar: It's a writers cube. I don't get writers blocks. I get writers cubes.
Amerella: Forget I even asked. Queen Sunstar and I don't own anything except for Rock, who belongs to me, Medic, who belongs to Queen Sunstar, and the plot below. Capcom owns everything else. On to Chapter.
"He'll wake up when he is ready, Lan. It has been only two hours since I removed that ED from you. Give him time." X sighed, as Lan asked him again why Megaman wasn't waking up.
"I hate this." Lan muttered.
"I hated it too." Zero replied from behind them, "Watching X suffer was the worst time of my life. I couldn't do a thing except sit by him and watch helplessly as he suffered. I don't remember how many times I begged Lifesaver to give him something to stop the pain."
"Remember, the worse is over. He is no longer suffering like before. This is good." X replied, "He'll wake up when he is ready."
"How often have we heard that from Lifesaver?" Zero asked, "let's see, there was the time when he had to practically rebuild your body after that mission."
"How many times has he rebuilt you? Oh wait, that was Gate. Never mind." X bantered back.
Lan couldn't help but smile as the two old, no ancient friends bantered back and forth. He found it hard to believe that Zero and X have been around well over 5 centuries.
"There was the time you died." Zero retorted.
Lan looked up, "X, you died?"
"Long story. I fell fighting Mars, and died about ten minutes later inside the HQ due to my injuries. I was gone for about two weeks until I was brought back." X replied quickly, "Zero has died twice. The first time, saving my skin, the second time, we both got ourselves killed. I was repaired by myself from the future, where I had just died, in a sense. I also repaired Zero then too. Lets see, I've died now four times."
"I wouldn't count the first time since you didn't really die." Zero replied.
"Good point. I was worse off then you were. You at least had an arm. All I had was my upper body and my head. I almost considered letting myself go and saving you, but I decided not to change history. The second time I died was against Mars. I was damaged over 96% of my body. I couldn't see and I could barely talk. The third time I died was by my choice. I absorbed something called the Dark Elf into my body, thus becoming a Cyber Elf. The fourth and final time I died was in Zero's arms. To stop Omega, I allowed Zero to use me as a power up. By doing that, I used up everything I had, even my own life force, to give Zero the power he needed to take down Omega." X continued.
"That was after he plucked me off of the Ragnarok." Zero finished.
At that moment, Maylu, followed by Roll, came in. Zero and X both took their leave, sensing that the two humans wanted to be alone.
"Megaman is not awake yet?" Maylu asked.
"No. there has been no change, ether. X says that this is normal." Lan replied glumly, "And then I had to listen to a history lesson. Did you know that X has died four times?"
"Yes, that was one of the history questions on our last history quiz from Mrs. Mari." Maylu replied, "Which we all know that you failed."
"Chaud's fault." Lan replied smugly.
"What is my fault?" Chaud chose to walk into the room at that moment, "If this is about that history quiz that you failed, that wasn't my fault."
"It was too! You were the one who dragged me into patrol!"
"You were the one who didn't study."
"I did study! I had Megaman quiz me on the way to school the following morning!"
"You call that studying? I hear it takes you five minutes to get to school."
"Will you two give it up already?" Maylu asked, "I highly doubt your bickering is helping Megaman any."
"He started it." Chaud said.
Lan lunged at him, and the next thing ether of them knew, they were being held up in the air by Roll's yellow antennae. She was also holding them apart so they couldn't reach each other, and her hands were on her hips.
"Thanks, Roll. I was about to separate the two myself." Maylu replied.
"You're welcome, Maylu. Lan, I know you are worried and stressed out about Megaman. You don't need to take it out on Chaud." Roll responded firmly, "Chaud, I know you love to egg him on and all, but right now is not a good time. I'm not letting you go until I hear you both apologize to each other."
"But he-" Chaud's reply was cut off instantly as Roll tightened the antennae holding him, "I'll apologize after Lan apologizes!"
"I'll apologize after Chaud apologizes!" Lan shot back.
"And I'll stand here all night until one of you does apologize!" Roll threatened.
"Come on, you two. Freedom is yours if you say the two little words, I'm sorry." Maylu glared at them, "I can make it painful." She reached for her PET and remembered that it was at Scilabs along with her battle chips, "Oh darn, I forgot, I don't have my PET."
"There is no need for the PET." Roll grinned evilly, "Shall I?"
"Well, are we going to apologize?" Maylu asked, mirroring Roll's evil look with one of her own.
The boys eyed each other.
"What can Roll do to hurt us more then tightening an antennae?" Lan asked.
"This." Rolls antennae flashed, eliciting yelps from the boys.
"All right! I'm sorry!" Lan was granted freedom.
"I'm sorry too!" Chaud was set free.
"Note to us, don't get the girls mad at us." Lan turned to Chaud.
"Agreed." Chaud agreed.
Voices, he could hear their voices. Why was it so hard to wake up? His eyes felt as if they were glued shut.
"I wonder if he can hear us talking." Roll said quietly.
He focused on her voice, trying to wake up.
"I like to believe that he can." Maylu answered.
'I can hear you! I'm trying to wake up!' Megaman thought to himself, trying again to open his eyes. This brought to mind of the eight hours he'd spent in a coma before dying back when he was human. He recalled the light pulling him toward it, of his desperate battle to stay with Lan, but the light had been too strong. 'I'm not leaving him again. Come on, Hub, open your eyes. You can do it.'
Megaman found himself standing in a dark tunnel. Behind him, was the light. In front of him, he could just make out a dim room. That was were he was going. The light won once, but it won't win again.
"Hang on, Lan, I'm coming back." Megaman walked toward the dim room ahead, "I will not go toward the light. I am stronger then I was the last time. I'm not leaving you again."
It felt as if he were walking through quicksand. He felt himself weakening. Turning, he found the light only a few feet away.
"You won last time! Not this time!" feeling a surge of strength, Megaman broke into a run. The dim room inched closer, "Lan, I'm coming!"
The quicksand feeling made his legs feel heavier and heavier the closer he got to the dim room. Megaman slowed to a walk. He was tired. The light behind him crept closer. Megaman turned to it.
"You already won once. Please, let me go back. I left him alone when I died from HBD. I am not going to leave him again. You have to let go." Megaman turned back to the dim room which looked so far away, "I can do this. I have to do this. The light is not going to get me this time." he pushed forward, refusing to back down.
"You had better have a good explanation for our missing children, Doc." Mr. Oregon, Dex's father, hissed at Dr. Hikari, who tensed up. Eugene Blaze, Chaud's father, cut between them before it could come to blows.
"Easy, Oregon. Let Hikari explain. If you don't like the explanation he gives us, you can hurt him." Blaze snapped.
"Where are they? Where are their Navis?" This came from Mrs. Ayano, Yai's mother.
"I'm here!" Mrs. Sakurai, Maylu's mother, was the last to arrive. With her was Mr. Froid, Tory's dad. "You called us together, Hikari?"
"The children are missing, and I have their PETS. Their Navis are missing too. I have an idea where they are. They are in the internet." Hikari explained.
"The internet?" the other parents all looked at him in shock.
"How?" Blaze asked, "Is Rock behind this?"
"I don't know. This is going to sound really strange, but I think they were sucked in through their PETS into the internet." Hikari said.
"You're crazy, doc." Mr. Oregon gave him an odd look.
Then things got even weirder. A light blue glow filled the room. A light blue orb hovered above the coffee table. It stretched itself into a human like shape. The shape grew into the size of an adult and features began to form.
"It's the Cyber One!" Mrs. Ayano breathed.
Cyber Elf X finished forming and solidifying. He smiled.
"Your children are safe with me in the Ethernet, their Navis too." X replied.
"Ethernet?" Blaze asked.
"The Ethernet was the internet before the internet." X explained, "They are safe with me. I will not let any harm befall them."
"How do we get them back?" Hikari asked.
"I will bring them back soon. We are waiting for Megaman to wake up. He had the sigma virus, but I was able to pull it out of him. As soon as he is strong enough, I will bring them home." X answered, "Rest assured that your children are safe." He began to fade.
"X? Is there anything we can do?" Hikari asked.
"I will send you a signal. When you get that signal, set up the DA space in the lab. I will send the children through there." X was gone.
Everyone in the room felt relief flow through them. They knew they didn't have to worry anymore.
"Megaman?"
"Megaman, you are safe now. We are back in Scilabs where Dr. Hikari is fixing you."
"Mama?" Megaman opened his eyes. Medic smiled down at him.
"Morning, sleepyhead." She smiled.
"I'm safe?" Megaman asked.
"Yes. You are safe now." Medic answered.
Megaman held up his arms, "My hands are back!"
"Dr. Hikari fixed your arms for you. We will get you home in a few hours." Medic replied, "Here comes Daddy."
Zero smiled, joining Medic, "Morning, tough guy. You were in bad shape when we found you."
"Daddy!" Megaman flew into Zero's waiting arms.
"I missed you, tough guy." Zero smiled.
"I missed you too, Daddy." Megaman buried his face into Zero's shoulder, "Did you get the monsters?"
"Yes, I got the monsters. They won't hurt you anymore." Zero reassured him.
"Is he awake?" a man in glasses and a white lab coat walked over to the computer screen. Megaman squeaked and hid his face in Zero's shoulder.
"Yes, he is awake, Hikari." Medic nodded to her operator.
"It's okay, tough guy. It is just Dr. Hikari. He is the man who fixed you." Zero soothed, "Calm down. You will see him lots because he is mama's operator. Do you know what an operator is?"
Megaman looked up, "An Operator is a human in the other world that gives you battle chips in battles and repairs you when you need it. Some operators are nice while others are not so nice."
"Very good." Zero said, "Dr. Hikari needs to see you for a second to make sure you are okay. Mama and I are right here behind you. Dr. Hikari is a nice operator." Zero put Megaman down on the cyber ground, "Go on."
Dr. Hikari smiled at the little blue and yellow child Navi. Megaman managed to smile back despite his fear. At that exact moment, an eight and half year old boy with brown eyes and brown hair flew into the room. He raced toward Hikari who turned and smiled.
"Dad!" the boy tackled Hikari and nearly knocked them to the floor. Megaman yelped and dove behind Zero's legs.
"Easy, Megaman. That is Lan Hikari, Dr. Hikari's son. Why don't you go say hi?" Zero asked.
Medic smiled, "Megaman, Lan is a good operator too. He won't hurt you."
Nervously, Megaman peeked out from behind Zero. He slowly stepped out into the open.
"Hi?" He managed, fighting the urge to dive behind Zero's legs again.
Lan looked at the computer screen, "Hi! I'm Lan Hikari! What's your name?"
"Megaman." Megaman replied shyly.
"I've never seen a child Navi before!" Lan said, "I can't wait to get a Navi of my own. Dad says I have to wait until I'm older, though."
"How come?" Megaman asked.
"It is because of the new rules that say you have to be 13 or older to have a Navi of your own." Lan said, "I'm eight and a half. I've got four and a half more years to go. Hey! Maybe I'll get to be your Operator!"
Dr. Hikari smiled, "Lan, I need to run a few scans on Megaman to make sure he is growing the way he should, just like the doctor does with you."
"Can I watch?" Lan asked, "Hub always let me watch when the doctor examined him, if that is okay with Megaman, that is."
Megaman heard Lan's voice catch at the word, Hub.
"Well, do you mind if Lan watches, H- Megaman?" Hikari asked, hoping no one heard his near misstep.
"I don't mind." Megaman found himself feeling very comfortable around Hikari and Lan. He wondered who Hub was as Medic pixilated him over to the capsule for the scans. Lan watched with rapt fascination as Medic told Megaman to lay still so Hikari could take the scans. Megaman nodded to show he understood.
"Why is it so hard to hold still when you are told to hold still compared to holding still without being told to?" Megaman asked Lan while waiting for Dr. Hikari to begin the scan.
"You are right. Why is it like that?" Lan agreed.
"Megaman, hold still. I'm starting the first scan." Dr. Hikari smiled.
"I'm holding still, but I can't guarantee I'll stay still." Megaman smiled back.
Lan couldn't help but feel a stab of pain. Megaman was acting so much like Hub. He even looked like Hub, same black hair and green eyes…
"Scan one is done, three more to go. You are doing great." Hikari said.
"I'm holding still!" Megaman responded, "Fighting urge to twitch!"
"Don't move a muscle!" Hikari laughed out loud, "Scan two done, starting scan three."
"I'm really trying to hold still!" Megaman replied, "Sorry! I twitched!"
"Just finished scan three, so we're okay. Starting scan four." Hikari chuckled, "And… done."
"Finally!" Megaman waited for Medic to pixilate him back to the computer.
"Dad, Megaman looks and acts so much like Hub did." Lan brought up.
"Megaman does look a bit like Hub, doesn't he?" Hikari smiled fondly at the little Navi as he was embraced by Zero, "He has a lot of promise."
Megaman's eyes flew open. He looked around and recognized the room he was in. For now, the room was empty. He sighed to himself, reviewing his last dream. It was quiet and peaceful. The door opened to reveal Medic who looked surprised and happy that he was awake.
"Please, don't call anyone in yet. I want to talk with you alone," Megaman smiled, "Medic, or do you want me to call you mama like I used to?"
"It is up to you." Medic drew up a chair, "I want you to know that I will always see you as my little boy. Zero too. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I think more of my memories you blocked are coming back. I met Lan." Megaman looked up at Medic, "He was eight and a half, and very hyper. I felt so comfortable around him and dad."
"And you know why you felt so comfortable with them." Medic said.
"I know. It is because I am Hub." Megaman looked away from her, "I'm not sure what I should be feeling. A part of me is thrilled to be remembering this, while at the same time, another part of me is mad at you for blocking them."
"I see. I didn't want your memories blocked. It was decided to have them blocked so you wouldn't have to remember what Rock and Pharaohman did to you." Medic replied, "You were suffering from terrible night terrors. Zero and I had to let you sleep between us in our bed. It was the only place you felt safe. You hated it when we had to get up. It got so bad that we decided to block your memories. We didn't do it to be mean. We did it because we love you and we didn't want you suffering anymore."
"I'm okay now." Megaman thought, "Can you unlock the rest of them?"
"I wish I could. I bet Cyber Elf X could do it. I am going to go get him and let everybody know you are awake." Medic smiled "You stay and rest."
Megaman watched as Medic left. The door flew open five seconds later as Roll flew in leading the rest of the group. She literally tackled him in a hug.
"Megaman! I was so worried!" Roll cried, "I thought we were losing you!"
"I'm fine now, Roll." Megaman made her very happy by returning the hug, "I will never leave you, ever."
"Let me get through!" Cyber Elf X chuckled as he watched them crowding around Megaman, who found himself being hugged, shoulder clapped, and all but mauled. The group parted to let the Cyber Elf through after a few minutes. Megaman looked up and nearly did a double take as he found himself staring at emerald eyes the same shade as his own. He realized that some of X's features were nearly identical to his own. X smiled.
"You were pretty sick for a while there. I am going to run a scan to make sure the virus is leaving your system. Sometimes it can go dormant then attack later." X replied "I just need you to relax."
"I'm ready." Megaman relaxed himself, "Will it hurt?"
"You might feel some discomfort, but it shouldn't hurt. If you start feeling uncomfortable, let me know and I'll stop." X said.
Megaman nodded. X's antennae glowed as they ran down his left hand and formed what looked like a scanner. Starting with his head, X worked down to Megaman's boots, nodding to himself occasionally.
"You are in the clear. The virus is gone." X replied, "Now we have to wait for you to recover, which won't take long at all."
At that moment, sirens rang through the underground base. Everybody jumped except for X, who instantly teleported to the main room. The human children raced after him while their Navis chose to pixilate into the main room, Medic, Zero, and Megaman too.
"How many viruses are out there?" Lan was wide eyed as he stared up at the computer screen that was showing thousands if not millions of viruses. It wasn't just viruses, but ghost Navis too. Numberman turned from the computer.
"There is exactly 220000 viruses and ghost Navis out there which means 20000 viruses to each of us to take out." Numberman said.
"G-ghost?" Megaman went pale.
"You can handle it." Protoman stepped up behind him, "They were alive once. Pretend they are alive."
"I hate ghosts! I am not going out there until they are gone!" Megaman shuddered.
"Why are you so afraid of ghosts for?" Tory asked, "They are just spirits of those who have moved on and they can't hurt you."
"Well, remember that day at the fair, Maylu?" Lan turned crimson.
"Oh yea, I remember that day." Maylu looked a bit pink.
Everybody stared at them. It was Megaman who spoke next.
"That was not funny, you two!" he scowled at Lan and Maylu, "Back when I was Hub, our parents took us to the fair. Maylu came too because her mom had to work. Well, Lan talked me into going on the roller coaster with him. This by the way was during the four years my HBD went into remission. I went with him on the coaster and it wasn't fun."
"So a ride on a roller coaster made you afraid of ghosts?" Tory asked.
"It was called The Haunted Scream." Maylu said, "I was too short to go on it."
"It goes underground and that is where the ghosts are. Hub screamed through the whole ride." Lan finished, "There was this hologramed ghost that jumps out and shakes your seat. Hub sat there staring wide eyed at the hologram. Then it leaned toward him as we shot out of the ground and he screamed through the rest of the ride."
"That thing wasn't a hologram! It's eyes were too real and so was its bad breath!" Megaman protested.
"I told you, the bad breath wasn't real." Lan sighed, "In the mean time, we've got a gazillion viruses outside waiting to destroy us. Let's go."
"All of you Navis will fight. I'll stay here as the last line of defense between them and the children." X replied, "Don't give me that look, Lan. It is far too dangerous out there for you and the other children. You guys go, and stay alive out there."
"Are you ready for this, Megaman? Hiding behind me will not help you." Protoman stepped aside to reveal the quaking Megaman, who blushed, "I'll go Mega Soul while you go Proto Soul. That will give us both extra power and should help in the battle."
"I'm going ice dragon." Iceman decided.
"Let's get going." Magnetman started for the door.
Protoman slipped into soul unison first. He retained his purple but his red turned dark blue and his chest armor split down the middle to flow over his shoulders and turned golden. His long silver hair flowed back up into his head to form Megaman's hairstyle. Last thing to vanish as his helmet turned blue and gold was his visor. His red boots and gantlets turned dark blue.
Meanwhile, Megaman was going through changes of his own. His shoulder armor flowed to cover his chest and turned red. He retained his dark blue while his boots and gantlets turned red. His hands turned black. His helmet turned red as a green tinted visor covered his eyes. His black hair grew longer.
Iceman chose to wait until he was outside to shift to his beast form. It had been a gift from Dr. Hikari that had allowed him to take down the enraged fusion beast form Megaman who was laying waste to the Net. Iceman remembered how he had pleaded with Megaman to stop. Then Tory had given him the news that the Megaman they knew and loved was gone. Iceman shook the memory away. He didn't want to dwell on the past, no mater how painful it was. Quickly, he focused and shifted to ice dragon form in record time.
Using his busters, Mega Soul Protoman hit a virus and was shocked to see it flash a few times and come for more. He fired a charged shot with the same results. A few feet to his left, Proto Soul Megaman was having the same results. Overhead, Iceman used his ice breath with the same results.
"This is crazy!" Glyde tried a few ED which didn't help, "Why can't we delete these things?"
"They have got to have a weakness!" Roll cried out.
"Wait a minute! Glyde, join Iceman in the air! I want you two to search for a weakness!" Proto Soul Megaman ordered.
"On it!" Glyde flew up into the sky, "Nothing! They are everywhere and they are spread out!"
"Gah!" Proto Soul Megaman was caught in the blast from a ghost Navi that looked like Airman. The hit was strong enough the send him crashing into several viruses and it also sent him tumbling out of Proto Soul. Before anyone could react, the huge mass of viruses turned as one and pounced on the small blue Navi. Medic and Zero both reacted instantly. Zero threw a Domineered aside as Medic used her tentacles to pierce several spikeys and toss them into a pile. Non of the viruses deleted, but they flashed a few times. Megaman screamed, trying to get loose from the grip of a pair of Shadow2s.
At that moment, Cyber Elf X joined the fray. Rainbow tentacles shot from the ground to pierce viruses left and right, causing them to flash.
"Hit the viruses when they flash!" he called.
Medic responded by sending a wave of white tentacles through the viruses in X's own rainbow tentacles. The viruses deleted. This renewed everyone else. Magnetman magnetized a group of viruses which all flashed and vanished in an explosion caused by a dice bomb thrown by Numberman. A storm of Roll arrows followed the tail end of an ice storm created by Iceman. Mega Soul Protoman was using both busters now. Cyber Elf X hit the two shadows holding Megaman and deleted them with a wave of his hand. Megaman landed easily on his feet, already beast out as Falzar. He took over for Roll by replacing her arrows with his needle feathers.
Watching all this was Rock, and Pharaohman, hidden in their base within the Ethernet far from the scene of action.
"They found a way to delete your viruses, Rock." Pharaohman broke the silence.
"It is because of that blue guy with the rainbows on his helmet." Rock hissed back.
"What? Rock, that is a Cyber Elf! Do you know what this means?" Pharaohman Turned to him, excitement shining in his red eyes.
It dawned on Rock, "If we capture the Cyber Elf, Master W will be very thrilled with us!"
"Bingo! We capture both the Cyber Elf and the blue Navi together, and Master W will reward us big time!" Pharaohman explained, "You target the blue Navi while I go after the Cyber Elf."
"Deal." the two Navis pixilated into battle. Rock had not questioned Pharaohman going after X because he knew that as Sunstar, Pharaohman stood a better chance of catching the Cyber Elf then he did. Also, there was the sacred law stating that any Navi that takes up arms against a cyber elf will be automatically deleted. Rock knew that met Naviruses to. Pharaohman would be exempt from the sacred law because he wasn't a Navi, nor a Cyber Elf. Rock wasn't sure what Pharaohman was. Rock rose silently behind Megaman who was too busy hacking a Ratton3 to oblivion. He pounced, catching Megaman by surprise and allowing a Metfire2 light a fire rat that plowed into them, blasting them apart. Cursing, Rock charged again.
Pharaohman had better luck. He rose behind X who spun and tried to delete him with a wave of his hand. Pharaohman stunned him with a glare and opened himself like a coffin to capture X. He vanished. Rock soon joined him with a placid Megaman over his arm. They hightailed it to their base.
The viruses all went normal as Rock was no longer controlling them. It took the Navis nearly 20 minutes to defeat them. They gathered together with their operators in the middle of the battlefield. Iceman returned to normal as did Protoman. The Navis all looked battered. Gutsman had a rezing gash in his right arm, Roll was missing part of her left antennae and sported a few bruises, Iceman was rezing along his right side where a Tuffbunny2 had caught him by surprise, Glyde was missing a wing entirely as well as sporting a rezing cut over his left eye, Protoman was rezing in a few places, Zero was favoring his right leg which he was missing much of, Medic, a rezing cut on her right shoulder and left knee, was helping Magnetman stay up, Magnetman was covered with rezing gashes over much of his body as well as missing his left arm below the elbow, and Numberman was missing his right hand and was bruised up.
"Everybody okay?" Medic asked tiredly.
"I'm okay." Roll replied, "Protoman needs repairs, soon."
"So do I." Magnetman added, wincing as Medic shifted under him, "We all need repairs."
"Let's get you all back inside." Chaud went to Protoman's side
"Where is Megaman?" Lan asked.
"And where is Cyber Elf X?" Dex asked.
Everybody quickly looked around upon realizing that Megaman and X were missing. It was quickly decided regroup inside the underground base and go from there.
"Megaman, wake up."
"Megaman? I need you to wake up now. You've been out for hours."
"Megaman, can you hear me?"
"Hmm…" Megaman woke to find himself in a cell on a cot with X standing over him, "What happened? Where are we?"
"I am not sure where we are, but I think we got kidnapped. You must have been drugged because I couldn't get you to wake up for six hours." X explained, "This place is familiar, but I don't know why. I do know we are not in the Ethernet anymore. I think we are somewhere in the Undernet."
"Undernet?" Megaman sat up, "We are in the Undernet? Wouldn't that hurt you?"
"I would be suffering if we were taken to the regular Net. The Undernet is half Ethernet and half internet. I am okay here." X explained, "Now that you are awake, we can start trying to get out of here."
"I think not."
"Sunstar?" X hissed, literally shaking in fury.
Pharaohman smiled, "You recognize me. How nice."
"Sunstar? Isn't that Pharaohman?" Megaman asked.
"Master W is very pleased. He has big plans for you, Cyber Elf." Pharaohman ignored him.
X glared at him and waved his hand. Pharaohman sniggered, "Trying to delete me I see. You can delete Navis, Naviruses, viruses, and cyber elves like your self because they all are data. Not me. I am flesh and blood like you were once."
"I am still flesh and blood." X snapped, "Sunstar, I fought you once before and won. I'll fight you again and win."
"Master W is coming here himself to see you." Pharaohman sneered, "Soon, the darkness will come and the Nets will collapse! Then Master W will create a new internet and use it to rule the world!"
"He wishes. I'll stop him again like I always have." X deadpanned, "plus, I knew something like this could and would happen. I have put in a failsafe to ensure that he never sees the light of day again."
"You wish." Pharaohman left.
"I'll answer your questions in a minute." X closed his eyes and went transparent.
In the darkened DA lab, a computer whirred to life. If anyone was in the lab, they would have seen an orb surrounded by a pair of rainbow figure eights on the computer screen. Then, the siren began to blare.
Queen Sunstar: Amerella did a good job in my book. This concludes chapter three. I will have chapter four up by this time next Saturday. In chapter four, Master W is revealed. A cookie goes to those who can guess who he is. It should be fairly oblivious. The kids will be returned to the real world with their Navis where they learn the true horror of the decoding Net. The only one who can heal the Internet is Cyber Elf X, but when he turns up in the Net in a place called the Graveyard which is found between the Undernet and the Internet, the Navis are mobilized and sent out to him. An explosion of darkness leaves one Navi on the brink of deletion and two others seriously wounded.
:Preview:
"X stop this!" Protoman screamed, "Master W may control your body, but he can never bend your will!"
"I can't!" X cried out, "His will is too strong!"
The cyber elf began to glow brightly as he was forced to move toward a single grave standing alone. Protoman moved to follow. When X got to the grave, it began to glow. Roll, Gutsman, Iceman, and Glyde joined Protoman while Zero and Medic stayed back, realizing what was happening. They both screamed the word no, but it was too late.
The world turned upside down. The ground became a living thing as the sky ripped itself open in a deafening scream. Pure darkness flowed from the sky and up from the opening maw of the ground. Before anyone could react, there was a blinding flash of light, then darkness…
:End Preview:
Queen Sunstar: Reviews are greatly appreciated and I will respond to all of them if I can. Next weeks update may be a tad late as my grandfather comes home from the hospital next week and I may have to stay a few days with him to help him around the house. He had a minor stroke and is having trouble with his left arm, nothing serious. See ya'll then!
