A dark-blue transport line touches ground and Kaden's Net Navi materializes in a standing position. Rex slowly opens his eyes and looks around the area. He is now in Garden Net 1. The floor the Net Navi is standing in is the usual dark-blue floor with paths branching everywhere, cyber plants strewn everywhere to resemble a Jurassic wildlife habitat. In front of him the path spreads apart in two lines thanks to a big tree and a line of Jurassic bushes.

One path takes him to a rectangular-shaped opening in a field of bushes while the other path stretches upward as a hill to a squared clearing above and stretches toward the west. Rex looks down at his feet. From his knees down it looks like he's wearing a pair of bulky boots, but at his ankle the 'boots' are cut down into a strap that goes down between his heel and feet around the soles of his foot, letting his four toes with razor-sharp talons stand out.

Rex looks beyond his feet to the ground he's standing on; spotting a yellow line that travels to the path on the left and continues down the path further along ahead. No doubt the line helps other Net Navis get to the Garden Square, where all Net Navis can gather in harmony to talk, shop and relax with their buddies.

Rex looks around, taking in on the cyber wildlife. He feels his cyber spirit lift as he looks at the 'nature' strewn around him, that feeling of happiness animals get when they're released to their home after years of being away from it. He blinks as his tail is brushing up against something, causing the Net Navi to turn to look at his tail touching the bush behind him. He could only chuckle and turn around as he takes a few steps forward and taking his feet off the transport to Kaden's HP. "Well, where to?"

""I dunno, Rex."" Kaden replies. The Net Op ponders what to do first. Either just go directly into a Sharptooth's way and engage it in a Netbattle, or just go to Garden Square to see who's there at this time in the morning. Either way, it's fine with him. ""How about we go to Garden Square? I've only seen it twice with my friends' Net Navis and I loved going there!""

"I thought you said you said you wanted to go do some virus busting." Rex chuckles as he starts following the yellow line on the ground, heading straight to Garden Square just two areas ahead. "Lost your nerve?"

""Hey!"" Kaden sounded to have taken offense of that remark. ""I haven't lost my nerve! I just want to give Garden Square a visit, that's all.""

Rex shrugs, "Whatever floats your boat." He continues down the yellow path to Garden Square at a slow pace, Rex wants to enjoy the scenery of the Cyber World for as much as possible. If a Net Navi with no knowledge of a Real World, it could mistake this place as the actual thing. The way the Net is designed to resemble a Jurassic wildlife environment, it looks realistic.

Back then the Net was stricter. The bushes, boulders and trees outlining the paths couldn't have been crossed; an invisible wall of sort blocked the Net Navi's path to continue through them. But a decade ago, with new minds and technology by SciLab's side, those invisible walls were broken down and the Net Navis could travel through the wildlife borders and out of the main paths, figuring out shortcuts and more freedom in movements when it came to exploring and virus busting. Though that new freedom wasn't all positive though, it also means more freedom for surprise attacks from the Sharpteeth viruses and the Net Navis would be in deep danger whenever out of the squares.

""Remember to stay along the paths, Rex."" Kaden informs his Net Navi as he watches from the PET in the Real World. ""We don't wanna get lost around here.""

"Relax," Rex assures his Net Op as he turns a corner on the main path, still taking his pace pretty slow as he still wants to take on the sights. "What could happen?" A second later after his remark something jumps from a bush in front of Rex and screeches at the Net Navi; the surprise causes the Net Navi to let out a cry of surprise as he falls back and lands in a sitting position, dragging himself back and away from the attacker as his mind catches up to him with what just happened as he sees three more of the same creature jump out from around the bushes and stalk over to him. Suddenly, another pops up from behind him with a screech and it opens its jaws and closes it down around Rex's left shoulder, gnawing and shredding at his shoulder pad and shoulder. Rex cries out in pain as the creature's razor-sharp teeth rake against his shoulder, little glowing light-blue dots fly out from the biting area as sparks as the teeth grind his shoulder.

""Rex!"" Kaden cries in horror as he watches his Net Navi being mauled by what looks like tiny Sharpteeth. Viruses!

Rex opens one eye to see the other four viruses in front of him snarling at him and nipping at his moving feet to bite at his toes. One manages to get close, but Rex isn't going to let them get another bite out of him. "Get…Off of me!" He shouts as he grabs at the Sharptooth biting into his shoulder, yanking it off and throwing it to its comrades in front of him. Rex then kicks at the closest virus, the sharp talons of his toes sink into the little Sharptooth's lower jaw and shredding it open into tiny light-blue glowing dots. And just like that the Sharptooth virus is deleted, breaking into four blue transparent squares and dematerializing into light-blue particles and disappearing. At least these are easy to delete.

""Are you OK?"" Kaden inquires as he watches his Net Navi get up while clutching his left shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Rex replies to his Net Op as he backs away from the viruses. He deleted one, but there are four of them left. And much to his dismay, more of them start to appear from behind him, to his left and to his right from the bushes outside of the main path. Now a total of eleven are surrounding him. "Compsognathus viruses!" Rex exclaims as he recognizes the Sharpteeth viruses. The Compsognathus viruses are about the size of a house cat. It has long legs, short arms and a long tail. They're all green color, the tip of their snout as sharp as a sword, which they can pierce their prey with it and their eyes a narrow red slit with a bright red dot moving back and forth from one corner of the slit to the other, as if scanning.
""C'mon Rex, we can take 'em!"" Kaden exclaims eagerly, ""They're super easy to take out!""

"Don't be so sure, Kaden." Rex warns as he eyes the viruses surrounding them. "They may be small and weak, but they're incredibly fast. And they're pretty dangerous in numbers." And his theory was right. Two of them jump for the attack, forcing Rex to jump aside and let them fly by, but two more jump and bite into Rex's exposed wings. Rex yelps and flicks his wings to the side to throw them up. And while he succeeded in that three from the left jump for a bite into Rex's arm. He moves his arm out of the way for the save, but one of the viruses' sharp snouts slash at Rex's arm, causing the Net Navi to shout in pain and clutch at his wrist where the snouts grazed and injured. Rex spots another jumping for a bite. "Here's something you'll bite more than you could chew!" Rex swings his arm out and strikes the virus down with his hand, his claws sinking into the virus' tiny body and cutting two gashes into the body, the strike sending the little virus flying and striking against a tree, deleting the virus right on the spot.

""Good one, Rex!"" Kaden congratulates, but soon things turn grim. More and more Compsognathus viruses show up, and what first was a concern about being outnumbered turned more to a concern about being overpowered. And no Battle Chips in Kaden's possession will delete this many. ""Oh man, this is bad! Get out of there, Rex!""

"Don't have to tell me twice," Rex grits his teeth as he dodges another virus attempt at biting him. He steps back and makes a sudden run, jumping over the gang of Compsognathus and makes a dash toward the next area. For as much as he knows viruses can't follow a Net Navi into another area. Each area is divided by reinforced firewalls; it allows Net Navis in and out of between areas but keeps viruses out.

The Compsognathus viruses aren't going to let him go easily. They all screech at the Net Navi and follow him. The Compsognathus viruses are close range attackers, using their teeth, claws and sharp snouts to attack with. They give chase to the Net Navi and they quickly gain up on him, he'll be easily outrunned in a matter of seconds.

Rex breathes heavily as he makes a dash toward the area's exit, seeing it at about half a mile away. While Rex has no trouble making the dash to it, he has to worry about the Sharpteeth viruses tailing him. Rex looks over his shoulder and gasps at the viruses who are quickly gaining, "Kaden! They're catching up!"

""Oh man, that's not good!"" Kaden sounds pretty worried. Of course he should be worried! His first virus busting with his own Net Navi and it's already going bad! ""C'mon, Rex! You got wings! Fly! Fly!""

Rex looks up and shakes his head, "I can't! The cyber trees around here are too huddled up together! The branches aren't gonna let me flap my wings to fly!"

Rex cocks an eyebrow as he swore he heard Kaden curse, then a sigh is followed. ""Alright, guess it's time to heat things up! Fire Water, code M! Battle Chip in!""

The battle chip, we could say, took possession of Rex as his eyes flashed the color red and he stops his running, turning around to the Compsognathus viruses and clenches his fist and raises it in the sky. "Haaahh!" With a cry Rex sends his fist down into the ground and shatters it, a crack traveling down to the viruses and underneath their feet. In a blink of an eye extremely hot magma erupts from the cracks and engulfs the whole pack of Compsognathus viruses. Their screeches and chirps of pain echoes through the magma as they get deleted on touch, magma practically shoot out of the cracks for a few seconds before dying down, making a small barrier of fire in front of Rex.

"Whoa!" Rex exclaims as he jumps in surprise, "Now THAT'S a battle chip!""

""Haha, tell me about it!"" Kaden sounded pretty proud of that maneuver, ""Told ya they aren't hard!""

Rex grins and shakes his head, "Yeah well, I wouldn't get too cocky. The Compsognathus viruses oft-" He stops as soon as he turned around. Practically a group of about 39 Compsognathus viruses stands between him and the entrance to Garden Net 2. They all snarl and screech at Rex, who in return steps back from them only to be stopped by the barrier of fire the Fire Water chip created. Rex couldn't believe at how many of these viruses are at once. He was about to say that the Compsognathus viruses spawn very often and should get into Garden Net 2 before they do, but they shouldn't spawn THIS fast to show up and block his fast. Rex is flabbergasted. "Whe…Where are all these viruses coming from?"

""I don't know…"" Kaden replies, sounding very worried. ""This is bad, Rex! Jack out, now!""

Rex nods, and was about to do it until the Sharpteeth pack stop their activities, all of them frozen in place staring at the Net Navi. "Huh…?"

The viruses open a path as if letting Rex to get to the exit of Garden Net 1, but these viruses aren't letting him get away. Instead, they're opening the path for two other Net Navis who stand behind the gang of viruses. The two Net Navis slowly approach Rex, flexing their razor sharp claws with a sneer across their long, flat snouts as they approach the winged Net Navi. These two Net Navis are modeled after the Velociraptor antirrhopus species, the Sharptooth generation.

"Sickleclaws…" Rex muttered. True that these Net Navis are modeled after the Velociraptor species, but these Net Navi series were named the Sickleclaws.

The one on the left's the tallest of the two, a brown Sickleclaw Net Navi with light-brown color from his lower jaw down to his stomach all the way to the tip of his tail. On both his arms are what appear to be dark-brown gauntlets with razor sharp claws at the tip of his three fingers. On both his legs are what appear to be dark-brown leg armors from the knee down to the ankle, his feet exposed with razor sharp talons on the tip of his four toes. The Net Navi has black spiky shoulder pads and a thick black line from his forehead down behind his head and down his back and tail, where stripes arch horizontally half a foot long at one foot apart between them, each stripe with a sharp spike protruding from them. On the Sickleclaw's chest, over his left pectoral there's a crest with a Z mark with two lines over the letter.

"Who do we have here?" He begins with an intimidating voice, "Seems like our little virus troops caught a live one…"

The one on the right chuckled. He's a black Sickleclaw Net Navi. Unlike his Net Navi partner, this Net Navi only has a gauntlet on his left arm, this gauntlet being black like the Net Navi. On both his legs are what appear to be black bulky boots rather than the leg armors like his partner, and like Rex's this Net Navi's boots are cut down into straps at the ankle that goes down between his heel and feet around the soles of his foot, letting his heel and toes stand out. Just like his partner, this Net Navi has sharp claws at the tip of his three fingers and the usual razor sharp talons at the tip of his four toes. He wears a pair of red shoulder pads with the right one with spikes just like his partner's shoulder pads. And resembling like his partner this Net Navi has a thick line from his forehead down the back of his head and his back to the tip of his tail with stripes arch horizontally half a foot long at one foot apart between them, only difference is the line's red and the stripes are not protruding as spikes. On the Sickleclaw's chest there's a crest with a B mark with two lines over the letter, resembling his partner's crest.

"I don't know, brother." He starts with a lighter voice than his partner to his right. "But isn't he a special one…A Sharptooth generation Net Navi."

"Aye!" The one on the left remarks while taking a step forward, provoking Rex to take a step back, "His Net Op must be a very good hacker to come up with this Sharptooth."

""Hacker?"" Kaden inquires, sounding offended by the Net Navi's statement. ""I'm not a hacker!""

"Hahah!" The one on the left chuckles, "Sounds like his Net Op is quite a feisty one!"

"Yo, Zill." The one on the right calls out, addressing to his partner. "Maybe we should hijack this punk's Net Navi and show 'em to the boss. I think he might like this little present to complete his project."

Zill, The Sickleclaw Net Navi on the left, cocks an eyebrow at his partner. The boss is not to be bothered with that kind of idea, especially just to deliver another Sharptooth to him when he already has enough Sharptooth Net Navis at his disposal for the HTP members. Zill was about to tell his partner off about the idea until he gave Rex another glance, suddenly finding himself studying the Net Navi's body.

"Hmmmm," Zill hums as he studies the Net Navi's features. The claws, the talons, the teeth, the wings, there was something rather off about this Sharptooth, especially the scar over his right eye. "You know…That doesn't sound like a bad idea…" Zill grins as he watches Rex's eyes grow wide, clearly he didn't like the sound of the idea about being taken away from his Net Op to some unknown place. "Hahah! You're not so dense after all, Bull!"

Rex gulps. He tries to take another step back when the Compsognathus viruses standing behind him bite at his leg, that slight sting to his leg forcing the Net Navi to take a step forward and away from their mouths as they snarl and hiss up at him, their red slit eyes looking up at him, the bright red circle inside their eyes moving back and forth quite fast, warning their very hostile status.

"I don't like this…" Rex reports to his Net Op.

""Rex, I'm sending you a Battle Chip."" Kaden whispers in a very low voice, audible enough for only Rex to hear.

"Got it…" Rex whispers back as he slowly hides his right hand behind his back, a Mini Bomb materializing in his hand as he keeps it hidden behind his back. Though the Compsognathus viruses see the Mini Bomb in his hand, they don't seem to make a big deal about it, as they're working on Zill and Bull's orders, and their orders right now are to stay put and just keep the Net Navi in place.

Zill grins as he out extends his left arm. Their orders are about to change, "Sic' him!"

At the word the viruses throw up their hisses and snarls, and like a race they all jump for a pounce onto Rex. Their jaws open and claws flexed ready for the attack.

""Now!""

Rex's eyes twitch and he takes out his right hand from behind his back to reveal the Mini Bomb Kaden sent him. He rears his arm up in the air and with a grunt Rex sends it down to the ground two feet away from his feet, the explosion throwing off a bunch of the Compsognathus viruses, deleting most of them who've been blown off their feet. Zill and Bull cover their eyes; they were pretty dumb to stay so close to the Net Navi when anyone could've expected a struggle from him. The two Sharpteeth Net Navis uncover their eyes just to see a bunch of smoke in front of them with their viruses strewn about the area, most of them deleted from being dangerously close to the explosion.

""Cannon, code A! Battle Chip in!""

A huge shot comes plowing through the smoke and striking a Compsognathus, sending the helpless virus flying into two of its comrade, deleting them both and itself. The shot made a good aftershock to blow the smoke away to revel Rex, his left arm out extended as a cannon, upper half green and upper half light-green, has replaced his hand, holding the heavy cannon up with the help of his right hand.

"You dirty little sneak!" Bull snarls. He was about to rush in to shred the Net Navi to bits until Zill holds out his left arm to stop his partner.

"Calm down, Bull!" Zill commands. He shifts his sight onto Rex and snaps his fingers. Soon enough 20 light-blue transparent squares show up between Rex and the two Sharpteeth as more Compsognathus viruses form inside the blocks and land onto the ground, all of them hissing at Rex.

""Aw man, more of them?"" Kaden groans. ""Shoot them down, Rex!""

"I'm trying!" Rex complains as his cannon shoots every two seconds, training the aim at between the viruses so the explosion of the blast could take out two at a time. "But those two Sickleclaws keep calling for more! I can't hold them for long!" Rex is right, every time he deletes two viruses two more come to take their place. Rex takes two steps back to keep the viruses at bay; he continues firing at them until the Cannon Battle Chip runs out of juice, the cannon on his left arm disintegrating into blue particles. "Oh no," Rex gasps as he looks at his left hand, "The cannon ran out of power!"

Zill grins and holds out his hand, stopping the viruses' actions and, with another snap of his fingers, sends them back from where they summoned them, "Looks like he's had enough of them." He grins at Bull, "How about we go in and rip him to shreds?"

Bull nods and charges in practically immediately, lunging in for a bite of his own. Rex gasps and jumps aside, barely avoiding the bite as Bull's mouth clamps shut inches away from his tail. Zill charges in for a slash, but Rex dodges it bending back Matrix-style, setting his hands on the ground behind him to prevent from falling unto the ground. With a strain Rex shifts his weight unto his arms and shoves his feet off the ground and up, striking with his feet Zill's lower jaw as he back flips to a standing position.

Rex backs away as he eyes the two Net Navis, Bull glaring at Rex while Zill fumbles back clutching his lower jaw. "Kaden, I need some Battle Chips! Anything!"

""These guys want some close-range action, huh?"" Kaden boldly points out; a hint of nervousness can be sensed in his voice. This is first ever Net Battle against other Net Navis, and this is for real win-or-lose-everything! ""We can't lose here, Rex! Cannon, code B! Battle Chip in!""

Rex's left hand is engulfed in blue particles and a light-blue transparent cube surrounds his hand as a bright blue shine begins to glow brightly in the cube and grow in size until it dies down to reveal the cannon. Rex bravely raises his arm, aims and fires a shot, closely followed by another. The shots are all aimed at Zill and Bull, who in turn run out of the way and dodge the shots. Velociraptors are known for their speed, and with this speed is how these two Net Navis are dodging the shots. Zigzagging across the field, running in circles around Rex, jumping about, the two Net Navis danced here and there, the shots touching nothing but the ground, leaving a circle of ash and smoke on the ground.

"Grrr!" Rex growls in frustration, "They're too fast!"

Bull leaps into the air to dodge another shot, and quick after landing he leaps again toward Rex, his mouth wide open for the bite onto Rex's head. The Net Navi gasps as a bunch of teeth fly right at him, their sharp look freezing him in place. He can practically feel his head being crushed in that jaw and getting deleted right in the spot.

""Rex, heads up!"" Kaden's voice ring inside Rex's head, causing the Net Navi to snap out of the trauma and jump out of the way and out of danger's way, though the Sickleclaw Net Navi instinctively leaps again. ""He's coming back! Mega Fist, code B! Battle Chip in!""

Rex couldn't help but smirk. Nice. He rears back his left arm as the cannon is surrounded by a huge light-blue transparent cube and morphs into a giant, blue fist! "Have a fistful of this!" He throws his hand forward and his huge fist connects with Bull's face. The strike makes a loud thump as the fist connects with his face and throws him back at least fifty feet away and unto a tree, the slam so hard the tree was pulled right off its roots and collapses down to the ground, kicking up dust and dirt and cyber leaves. The damage and impact, especially to the face, was so powerful that led to only one thing…

""Bull, logging out.""

Zill stared with widen eyes, his jaw dropped as he saw his partner fly across the place and slam right onto a tree and completely rip it from its roots. He turns to Rex and gives off an intimidating snarl at the Net Navi, clenching his fists so tight that his hands trembled. "That's it!" He shouted, gritting his teeth. "Nobody destroys my brother like that…!" He lifts his hand up in the air and a total of six cubes surround the Net Navi, clearly about to summon back his viruses.

""Aw man, not them again!"" Kaden complains.

The viruses begin to take shape, a height a bit much higher than the viruses they were dealing with minutes ago. The little virus seems to be 2.5 feet tall, its little arms begins to form with three large, strongly-curved claws on each forelimb. From behind a long, stiff tail begins to protrude. Four sharp talons form at their feet at the tip of their toes, their snout later forming as the glow dies down. These aren't the Compsognathus viruses they had to deal with before. These are Velociraptor viruses! Their eyes orange with a brown 'iris' line moving back and forth as if scanning like the Compsognathus' eyes, the icy blue feathers on the back of its head spiking out as projectiles attached to its body, a bunch of very small icy blue spikes on the tip of their tail. If Kaden's knowledge about these viruses is accurate, the Velociraptor viruses can shoot the spikes at the back of their heads for long-range attacks.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Rex comments as not only Velociraptor viruses show up, but also Compsognathus viruses. "He can call Velociraptors too? He backs away as the group of viruses stalk over to him, hissing and snarling at the Net Navi as they approach their prey. These two viruses are a couple of the fastest Sharpteeth in the virus library! Not many can outrun them without being touched or severely hurt, especially when they hunt in packs. Rex would be caught and attacked in no time if he tries to run away; he would be shredded apart right on the spot and get deleted, especially with a Sickleclaw Net Navi.

"Kaden," Rex starts as he backs up against a tree, watching at the viruses close in on him. "I don't suppose you have another Fire Water Battle Chip with you, do ya?"

""No,"" Kaden replies, he himself sounding quite frustrating and angered, ""I'm sorry, but I used up all 5 Battle Chips. I got nothing left.""

Battle Chips are the main offense for against viruses and Net Battles, but they're not unlimited. Once a Battle Chip is used up it has to be deposited into the PET Customization Center machine or any local Battle Chip Recharger to recharge the chips' data to make them usable again. Even though Kaden has the machine right next to him the chips' data are in the PET, which he must plug into the machine to extract the data from the PET and back into the chips, which is something Kaden can't do without his Net Navi in the PET. In other words, they're sunk.

"Shoot!" Rex curses.

"Forget about capturing him for the boss, delete him now!" Zill cries out in anger to the viruses, and just like that all of them throw their hiss and charge right at the Net Navi, 3 Velociraptor and 3 Compsognathus viruses heading right at him. They all jump for the pounce on Rex, their jaws open wide.

""Rex!"" Kaden shouts in despair, unable to believe how his Net Navi is going to end, and on his first trip into the Net too…

"Cyber Claw!"

""Huh?""

"What?"

In a tremendous whoosh the three Velociraptor and Compsognathus viruses were all deleted. Rex holds his right arm out to the side, his claws turned into pure cyber energy has they have grown half a foot long. Somehow Rex have gained the data of a Cyber Claw Battle Chip and used it on his own free will against the viruses, deleting them with ease.

"Impossible!" Zill shouts.

Kaden, however, was speechless, though he managed to break his silence in a couple of seconds. ""You…"" He stammered, but finally got his words together. ""You…How did you…?""

Rex flexes his claws as they still burn bright with that cyber energy from the Cyber Claw data still in use. "I forgot to tell you. Your dad is testing a brand new Custom Program on me called Chip Memory. It allows me to keep in my memory the data of a Battle Chip the program has. In this case, it's the Cyber Claw." He grins as he looks at the extended and much more dangerous claws. "Kinda suits me with the claws and all."

""Awesome!"" Kaden comments, he sounds pretty pleased at this turn of events.

Zill was at a state of shock however. He wasn't fully in on what the boss's plan is about what he wanted to hijack from SciLab, but he clearly knows what they're looking for. What he has just seen…The Net Navi…That sudden surprise of the so called Chip Memory program…Could it be? Is this Net Navi the program the boss wanted to steal from SciLab? No, it can't be. Why would a program so potent and powerful be at the hands of a kid? It doesn't make sense. But he can't deny it. This Net Navi does come close to what the boss was looking for. What it's suppose to do, what's so special about it…

Zill breaks out of it, there's no way the program is what he's looking at! He snarls and stomps the ground. "That's it! No more games! Delete him!" He shouted in pure anger as he summons even more Velociraptor and Compsognathus viruses. Well enough to surround himself with a whole army of them. This is a predictable move from Zill, considering the Net Navi can get pretty cowardly when the odds are against him. "Delete him!"

"Uh-oh!" Rex gulps as he now faces practically and army of viruses. Three of them run and jump at him only to get deleted with a slash of Rex's Cyber Claw. Three more jump in and soon four more, all of them getting deleted by each swing of Rex's arms, the high damage ratio of the Cyber Claw being too much for the little viruses. More and more soon jump in, forcing Rex to move from his spot and back away as he keeps swinging to delete them all. One Compsognathus virus that Rex missed jumps at him and tackles him right to the ground only to be deleted by the claws soon after. But the damage has been done. Rex is on his back on the ground as the viruses surround him. He breathes heavily as he has grown tired of swinging his arm back and forth deleting them all. He would need a Tree Star Battle Chip to recover his health and weakness, but sadly Kaden doesn't have one.

""Rex, c'mon! Get up!"" Kaden pleads.

"Rip him apart!" Zill shouts.

One was about to pounce for the kill when an explosion erupts from its left, taking out about ten viruses and hurting three more. Soon another explosion erupts from its right, and soon another, and another. A series of explosions erupts and eradicating almost all of them.

"What the heck?" Zill cries out angrily.

"What's going on?" Rex questions.

From a tree a light-brown Net Navi with brown shoulder pads and a lighter brown from under his jaw down his chest and stomach and down between his legs to the underside of his tail and a crest with an LF mark on his chest jumps out holding Mini Bombs on both his hands. From his elbows to his hands wears what appears to be bulky gloves and from his knees to his ankle wears what appears to be bulky boots. His brown eyes formed into a glare as he throws the Mini Bombs to the gang of viruses below him and more Mini Bombs forming into his hands after chucking one off, bombarding and deleting the gang without much effort.

"Who dares to interfere?" Zill snarls as he looks around to find the perpetrator who's deleting his whole army.

"That would be me!" The Net Navi speaks with a familiar voice to all of us. He lands and throws his last Mini Bomb to the last pack of viruses before turning his left arm into a buster cannon, an ordinary virus busting weapon most leaf-eater Net Navis are equipped with, and picking off the last viruses before turning his attention to Zill, his buster trained to the evil Sickleclaw Net Navi.

"Blast!" Zill curses, "I'm out of here!"

""Zill, logging out.""

The Net Navi watches as Zill turns into a bright, brown transport line and shoots up into the sky, disappearing after a while of ascending. The Net Navi slowly turns to face Rex, who's on his knees getting up with his back turned.

""Phew. You okay, Rex?"" Kaden inquires as he watches his Net Navi slowly and weakly get up.

"Yeah…" Rex answers as his claws turns back to normal, stopping the use of the Cyber Claw. "Man…What a relief for help to come when it di-" Rex froze right then and there as he feels the muzzle of a buster cannon being pressed to his right temple. Knowing he could get deleted with a clear shot there, Rex has no choice but to raise his arms in surrender, his eyes trying to look at the Net Navi threatening to shoot him.

"Dang Sharpteeth…" The Net Navi mutters, his buster still pressed against Rex's temple. "Troublemakers to the Net…Why I oughta-"

""Wait a minute."" Kaden pleads, noticing the crest on the Net Navi's chest. ""Littlefoot?""

The Net Navi, Littlefoot, flinches and looks around, recognizing that voice anywhere. "Kaden?" He questions, "Is that you?"

""Hahah, yeah!""

""Are you kidding me?"" A familiar voice is heard through Kaden's PET, also hearable to Rex and Littlefoot. Jason! ""Kaden, is that really you?""

""Hahah! You betcha, Jason!"" Kaden confirms with happiness.

""Wow, man! I can't believe it!"" Jason comments, he too cannot suppress the happiness for his friend from this shock of the morning. ""You finally got a PET and a Net Navi?""

""Yup! All thanks to dad!""

"That's awesome, Kaden!" Littlefoot comments with a grin as he stares up in the sky as if expecting the Net Ops to show up, him too is happy for the news, though he keeps his concentration enough to keep the buster trained at Rex. "So! Who's your Net Navi?"

"Umm," Rex hums, trying to get Littlefoot's attention, "Your buster's aiming right at him…"

Littlefoot stares at Rex with widen eyes. This Sharptooth? Kaden's Net Navi? No way! Sharptooth generation Net Navis for the public is prohibited by the Official Net Battle Rules and Regulations Committee, except for the Alimon series and three Sharpteeth the Officials use. Besides, Littlefoot's scanners indicate Rex's coding and data is nothing but Sharptooth data, no Leaf-eater data in him at all.

"Him?" Littlefoot questions in disbelief, accidentally thrusting his buster in a bit too much and hitting Rex's head. "This Sharptooth?"

""Are you serious?"" Jason also sounds in disbelief. ""But the Sharptooth generation is prohibited because of the viruses and Sharptooth Net Navi outlaws. How in the world did you get a Sharptooth Net Navi from your dad and still be cool with the rules and laws?""

"Especially when his coding and data is nothing but pure Sharptooth data…I think…" Littlefoot shakes his head and scratches his head. "I'm not even sure if his data is actually Sharptooth related…Some of it doesn't make any sense…"

""Heheh…"" Kaden chuckles bashfully, ""Littlefoot…Jason…Meet my Net Navi, Rex. The reason why my dad gave me a Sharptooth Net Navi was because…Well…Because…"" Kaden seems to have forgotten the reason. It would slip anyone's mind after an intense encounter with two Net Navi outlaws and their viruses.

"I can explain." Rex confesses. His arms are growing tired from having them raised as he slowly lowers them. "Just give me a chance and I'll explain everything. Look, if it makes you feel better I could tell you everything in Kaden's HP, only one escape portal and you between me and it."

Littlefoot eyes him for a bit. He doesn't have a reason why not to trust him. If Kaden says this Sharptooth is his Net Navi, it's gotta be the truth. Still, there might be a chance that this Sharptooth is playing along, and the PET came from a criminal with malicious intentions and gave this Sharptooth instructions to play along as an innocent Net Navi for the right moment to pull off a huge Net Crime or something. Hey, in a world where technology is so advanced, anything could happen with a push of a button.

"Well…" Littlefoot slowly lowers his buster, allowing the Sharptooth to stand up. "Alright, if you are Kaden's Net Navi the least you could do is let us know exactly what you are, show the authenticity of Kaden's dad and show us you mean no harm."

Rex nods, "Alright, no problem."

""And I'll give the others a call."" Jason adds. ""Might as well let our friends know about this to save time to explain them too.""

""Oh, yeah. Good idea!""

Rex watches as Littlefoot's arm turns back to normal as they both head back to the portal to Kaden's HP. "So…You're a longneck, huh?"

"Yeah," Littlefoot confirms, "You?"

Rex chuckles and shrugs, "Can't tell? I'm a Sharptooth."

Littlefoot stops, "I meant your series, not generation." As he was finishing his sentence Rex already sets foot on the portal, disintegrates like last time and leaves in a light-blue transport line to Kaden's HP, leaving him behind. "Geez…Talk about getting left behind…"

""Heheh, sorry."" Kaden apologizes, ""I'm just getting to know him as well.""

"On the next chapter of Land Before Time: Battle Network!"

"Kaden and Jason introduce Rex to the gang."

"Tensions run high as skeptical Net Navis decide whether or not to trust a Sharptooth such as Rex."

"What's so different about this Net Navi that sets him apart from the viruses and outlaws?"
