The 50 ft. mettaur brought the pick-axe down, sending a shockwave down the street. It destroyed everything, and everyone in the area screamed with panic. Lan recovered from the shock first and immediately tackled Geo, propelling both of out of harms way.
"What the heck?!", Geo shouted, "What is this?"
"No idea.", was Lan's reply, "Come on, we're right next to the Hospital. We have to draw it away from here!"
"Then what?", Geo asked, though he knew exactly what he was going to do. He would "accidentally" get seperated from Lan, then fuse with Omega-Xis and become Megaman... though he would have to come up with a temporary name first.
"You'll find out.", Lan replied, smirking. Geo threw a rock at the virus, and it turned its attention to them. Both kids ran, fast, away from the hospital.
Chaud Blaze was sitting in a restaurant, waiting for his guest. As Vice President of his father's company, he was here to sign a contract with a professional PET designer. Many people found the holographic display from the previous model of PET, which allowed operators to view a battle their navi was in from a "behind-the-navi" perspective. The new model does not have that ability, due to its smaller, compact size.
"Protoman, what time is it?"
"It's five to noon.", the red navi replied.
"Hmph.", Chaud grunted in frustration, "He's 25 minutes late. If he doesn't show up soon, we'll have to...", he left his sentence unfinished, because just then, his PET started ringing.
"Chaud, Lan's calling for you."
"Tell him I'm..."
"The call is marked 'urgent'."
Chaud sighed, "Fine, put him through."
A moment later, Lan appeared on screen, "We've got trouble Chaud. And I mean BIG trouble."
"What is it?", Chaud asked, uninterested.
Lan turned his PET so Chaud could see the virus chasing him. The Official Netbattler perked up, "Where are you?"
"We're on Den City Main Street, heading toward the Chez La De restaurant."
Chaud blinked, "That's where I am... wait, what do you mean 'we'?"
"I've got a friend with me, but that's besides the point. We're coming to you now!"
A few moments later, Chaud heard people screaming and could see the mettaur headed his way. He could also see Lan and a kid he'd never seen before coming straight towards him.
He called up the Science Labs. Mr. Famous answered, "Hello? Oh, Chaud, it's you."
"Mr. Famous, we need a dimensional area, now."
Mr. Famous was immediately on the alert, "No need for formalities. Dimensial Area, LAUNCH"
At Sci Lab, four dishes hooked up to the roof aimed at a sattelite in space and launched a white beam each at it. The sattelite, in turn, redirected them to where Lan, Chaud and Geo was.
Geo looked up in surprise as a strange barrier-like shield formed around the area he and Lan were in.
"What, never seen a dimensional area before?", Lan asked him.
Geo forced himself out of his stupor, "Well, uh, of course I have. I've just never been caught in one myself..."
Lan nodded, then said, "Oh, look. There's Chaud!"
Geo looked ahead, and saw another kid, wearing a red vest, with a long sleeve black shirt under it. He also had camoflouge pants, and hair that was dyed white at the top.
He and Lan both came to a stop, and gasped for breath. A two-mile non-stop run was not an everyday activity. Certainly not when you're being chased by a 50-foot mettaur.
"We're gasp here.", Lan told the now identified Chaud.
"Kid", Chaud said, addressing Geo, "Stay here."
Geo was happy to oblige. This would allow him to perform the EM (Electro-Magnetic) Wave Change without being observed. When he ran inside the restaurant, he found it deserted, "Ready, Mega?"
The AM Life Form nodded, "Yeah! Let's do this!"
"Electro-Magnetic Wave Change!
Geo Stelar
ON-AIR"
In a flash of green light, Geo and Omega-Xis fused into Megaman. He was about to rush out to delete the virus, but he noticed Lan and Chaud each had their PET's held in front of them, "What are they doing?", Geo asked.
"No idea.", Omega-Xis replied, "But they must have something planned if their just going to stand there like that"
"Ready Megaman?!", Lan asked.
"You bet!"
"Protoman? Ready?"
"Ready and willing, sir."
Simultaneously, the two kids pulled out their synchro chips and said, in unison, "Synchro Chip! SLOT-IN!"
In a flash of white light, Lan was fused with Megaman, and Chaud likewise with Protoman.
Across the street from the restaurant Geo was hiding in, on the roof of the museum, a spectator watched as the battle between the two Net-Saviours and the virus was about to unfold, "Heh... this should be interesting..."
