~*~*Chapter Four, log on!*~*~

Yours/Sora's P.O.V
It's Been at least a week since the traffic light incident. Maya was Having a Sleepover at Lan's the other night. Me and Megaman have been team net battling almost the whole night. I was resting in Megaman's room for a bit until I felt a hand shaking lightly, "Sora...Sora hey wake up."
I slowly opened my eyes to look into his green ones, blushing at how close he was to my face. I quickly tried to cover it up, "Um...what time is it?"
"It's around we don't get these two up they'll be late."He said softly.
That made me shot up and quickly went into Lan's main computer screen. When I got there I smiled softly. Both Lan And Maya were on his bed. Lan had an arm around her, while Maya rested her head on his chest.
"Awe...look at this."I said softly.
The blue Navi came over and Smiled at the sight, "I bet when they wake up, they'll both scream."
I nodded, "Yep."
we both started to try to wake the two up. they woke up then feel back a sleep a few times. About fifteen minutes later, I sighed, "Please plug your ears Mega."
he nodded and did so as I about to scream as loud as I can, but then the two instantly woke up before I could. They looked at each other and screamed.

Then Maya pushed Lan out if the Bed, "LAN HIKARI I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Now is not the time for that, Look at the time!"Megaman told them.
When they did they quickly jacked us into their PET's, got their bags, and put Rollerblades on and speed off to school as fast as they could.
"Oh Man we are so Late." Lan whined
"Shut up just keep looking forward."Maya grumbled
"Well maybe you two shouldn't of stayed up all night net Battling again."The blue navi spoke
"He has A point."I said softly.
"You two were there too, weren't you supposed to wake us up?"Lan asked
"But we did. It wasn't our fault that you two kept fall back to sleep."Megaman said .
"But your my net navi, If I can't count on you to watch me and my friends then who can I count on?" Lan exclaimed.
"Yourself?"His navi said with a rhetorical question.
I saw a Man with brown hair and Glasses, "Maya-san, Lan-san, Look out!"
It was to late, Lan bumped into him and Maya bumped into Bandana Boy.
The man dropped his brief case and battle chip flew out as it opened.
"Oh no! my rare Battle Chip collection!"I heard him speak.
'Mr. Higsby!' I exclaimed in my thoughts as he started to pick up his chips. Lan picked one up and his eyes widen, "Wow! that's a good one!"
just snatched it out of his hand, "Give me that! I hope for your sakes there's no scratches."
Maya Quickly got up and rollerblade into class while Lan followed quickly behind. Maya got in as the bell rang. Lan got in after the bell as Maya was in her Seat. Well after that came in Started to do his speech. Maya Jacked me into the school's system.

When I got in here with just a wave of my pointer finger an Internet Page came up ,"Alright I need to find my friends. This is driving me nuts."
I decided to look in the local news paper, here was noting, notta, zippo, zilch. I was looking for hours until I was jacked out and the computer system and I looked at Maya.
"Come on, Yai wants to show us something."She said to me.
I nodded s she left to Yai's with her friend in the Limo That Yai owned. It only took bout an hour and a half to get to the Destination where Yai wanted us to go to.

"Okay can we open our Eyes yet?"Lan asked.
"Okaaaay."She sang happily.
They opened their eyes and Dex was the First to speak.
"What is that? A bird house for pterodactyls?"He asked
"Your so rude," Yai said, "Actually it's a secret hideout I had Daddy Built for me."
"A Secret Hideout?" Lan, Dex, Maya, and Maylu said at the same time in side.
"Wow this place is Beautiful, Yai!"Maya exclaimed.
"Yeah," Lan started, "but what's the Secret?"
a few moments Later I heard Dex speak," Yai your dad so Rocks!...uh...what is it?"
"Observe." Yai said
"whoa..."I heard the Four said in shock.
"Tada! You happened to be looking at the very latest in three dimensional net battling technology!"
"That's Awesome Yai!" I heard Dex Lan And Maya shouting with glee.
"Let's Jack in!"I heard Dex said Happily ,"Gutsman, Power Up!"
"I'm Ready!," Maylu spoke, "Jack-in, Roll! Power up!"
"Let's do this."Maya spoke as I saw her Take me out and took a hold of the jacking in cord, "Jack-in, Sora! Power up!" I landed next to Roll
"Jack-in, Megaman! Power Up!" Lan said as Megaman came in next to me.

Glide was landed right next to us, "Greetings fellow Warriors, I shall be your appoint."
"But Glide-san."I spoke but was interrupted by the Blue Navi
"Wait a sec ," I head Megaman speak, "You weren't programmed to be a battle type net navi."
"Yai has Supplied me with Battle chip, "Glide said pointing his pointer finger in the air smiling, "I assure you I'm quiet ready for anything."
"Wow. he sure seems confident."I heard Maylu speak.
"I'll say." I heard Maya say.
"Maybe but I'm sending Megaman in."I Lan said
"Yeah Right," Dex started, "After Gutsman and I doubt that there will be anything left of him, when I'm done."
Gutsman suddenly attack, but Glide Deflected it with Life Aura. Then Yai down loaded The hero's sword making it a short battle, Gutsman fell down on his Back.
I was more distracted on the person who was watching us, Numberman. I could feel the guys presents. I looked over there as I heard," Go get him Megaman!"
The blue Boy was about to attack but then could feel Numberman's presents. He looked over to the direction too.
"Hey What's wrong Guys?"I heard Maya asked both me And Megaman.
"I don't know."Megaman spoke ,"Feels like there's someone else is in here."
"But how could they?"I heard Lan say.
"They couldn't."Yai spoke up, "Because this net battle arena is equipped with the most advance and expensive security system on the market. Nobody get's in unless I say so."
"Yai-san...There are something that can't be secured."I said softly as I turned away to feel his presents disappeared.

"How Would You know! Your just a little weak, stupid, worthless NetNavi That's Just show Cute and Politeness! I bet That your nothing with out blue boy here! Unlike MY Gutsman!"Dex exclaimed
That Brought back A memory with my two friends on how they always had my back. I could feel tears in my eyes. As I covered them with my bangs
"Take it back Dex!" I heard Maya exclaimed angrily.
"Make Me!"I heard him say. I could Tell That She twisted his arm around his Back lettingscream in pain.
"Take It back Now!"I head Her exclaimed.
"Okay you two! Break it up!" Roll shouted.
"NO! not until he says he's Sorry!"
I looked at Maya and smiled weakly, "Maya-san it's okay just let him go."
I heard a big thump, "Just be lucky that Sora said something before I ripped your head off."
I looked down on the ground and felt a tear release from my right eyes gently flowing down my cheek.
"Hey Sora are you a-"Megaman was about to speak until Maya jacked me out along with the other Navi's.
"Well It's getting late, we better get going." I heard Maya speak.
"Yeah."I heard Lan say.
And Soon we were off and returned home.
Maya jacked me into her computer, "Hey Are you sure your alright Sora?"
I nodded slowly as I swiftly lied, "I'm fine."
I then went to my room in the computer.
I went over to the Dog tags that said my two friends names on them, "I miss you guys.."
I then curled up on the bed crying silently not wanting to let anyone see.

Maya's P.O.V
She was Lying I could tell, but I didn't want to presure her to tell the truth. I suddenly heard a knock on my Door,"Come in." I said softly.
Lan Popped his head threw the door,"Lan what are you doing here?"
"Hello I need help with my hime work and we need to finish that Artical we promised for to finish our artical for the school newspaper."Lan explained.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that." I said then looked back at my computer getting myself conected threw the internet. Lan sat at the small floor ground table,He te his PET on his stand right next to him.
"Hey Maya."I heard my best friends Navi speak, "How's Sora doing?"
I forwned a bit,"I really don't know. I know she was Lying to me...and I don't think she's upset at what Dex said to her."
"What do you think Made Sora upset?" Lan asked. I sat right a cross the table from him,"Please tell me you told him Megaman..I know Roll said something about telling you the story."
"I never really got the time to."I heard him say.
"What story?"My friend asked.
" Roll found Sora with these two net Navis that were taking away by Level Five Viruses along with her."
"So?"
"They were with her."
"So what? it's not like it's a big deal?"
"Lan. "I heard Megaman intrupted our conversation,"I think what Maya is trying to say is that Sora could be friends with those two Navis. How would you feel if Maylu and Maya went missing?"
"Oh..."He said softly
"Exactly...Megaman could you go and check on her for me?"I asked him.
He nodded,"Sure thing Maya." The blue Navi left and Me and Lan started to work on our stuff.
Yous/Sora's P.O.V
I contiued to cry silently as I held of what I had tor emeber my friends. I suddenly felt a suddenly shift on the bed. I looked up to see it was Megaman. My eyes widen slightly. I quickly sat up as I tried to whip my tears.
"M-Mega what are you doing here?"I asked, Ifailed to whipe my tears away.
"Maya was worried about you..."he stated softly before he pulled me close,"You miss them...don't you?"
I couldn't speak. I just squeezed my eyes shut and nodded as my tears moved faster down my face. I managed to returned the embrace in a freindly way, crying onto his blue navi rubbed my back in efferts to calm me down. his breath was just inches way from ear, "Don't cry...I promise we'll find them." it sounded like wind chimes blowing right into my ear as he spoke. It sent chills right down my spine as I began to blush deeply.
My crying had ceased as I whipped my tears.
"You gonna be okay?" He asked.
I nodded as I let him go, "Thanks For calming me down.."
"Hey no proplem. Now let go see what Lan and Maya are doing."He said happily
"Kay..." I said softly
As I followed him back out I notic both Maya and
Lan hadfallen asleep on the table.
I smiled the yawned softly while covering my mouht,"I guess you stuck here to night, huh?"
He nodded ,"Yeah I think all of us need a nice sleep."
I took his handand led him back to my room as I grabbed my pajamas."Wait here." I quickly went into the bathroom and changed into them take the ribbon out of my hair. I came back out to see him looking around.
"Maya did a great job decorating." He said then looked over to me blushing lightly I think.
"Yeah...but I think she went way over the top with the fountains." I said looking over the by the entrance
I looked at him,"You can have the bed if you want...it's pretty comfy."
He waved his hands in defesn, "Oh I couldn't-"
"Please Mega...I insist."I said softly.
"If your sure-"
"I'm positive."
I made my self a small bed on the ground and I laid down on it. I saw Megaman Laying down on the bed,I slowly fell asleep, "Night Mega."
"Night." I heard him say before I fell asleep.

Megaman's P.O.V

I couldn't sleep...not that I know that Sora was sleeping on the ground. I sighed softly, "I'll suffer the consequences tomorrow."
I slowly got up and genly picked her and placed her right next to me. I looked at her face .. she looked peaceful despite what she was going threw. I smiled a bit As I was finally able to fall asleep.

Yours/Sora's P.O.V
I slowly woke up to the feeling of someone's arm araound me. My eyes opned to see tha I was on The blue Navi's chest. I blushed deeply and I looked at the time,It was 7:30.
'oh I hate it when I have to wakehim.' I thought saddly as I was able to tap on his cheek,"Mega...Mega wake up."
He slowly opned his eyes and looked at me. H e quickly let go,"Sorry it's Just that-"
"It's okay ...I don't mind Mega."I said softly
He smiled with a slight blush. I got up and I ment to the bathroom and quickly got dress. I then went out to the Main computer with him..
The two were stiil Asleep.
"Maya-san...Maya-san."I said softly.
She slowly woke up,"Mmm..." She sat up and rubbed her eye,"Sora what time is it?"
"It's 7:31 Maya-san." I said softly as she Got Lan up.
soon an went back home with His Navi as Mayajacked me into her PET and was ready. she packed her hoime work in,"Lan Took the His tuff back to his house and left it didn't he?" maya asked me.
I simply nodded,
She sighed,"Remind me to kill himlater."
I laughed softly,"Of coures Maya-san."
The two soon made it to school. Nothing happened that was intresting to day. Time pastedin time. soon Lan quickly left when I made it back into the PET,"Let me guess...he left it at hom?"
"Yep...and I'm going to kill him."Maya said,"To bad my sister has Piano lessons...or I would have asked her to get it for us."
"Did you say she had Paino lessons?" I asked a bit shocked.
"Yeah." she said as she put me away and stood next to .
"I wonder where Lan is?'I heard Yai asked.
Dex Laughed," Don't worry you can always count on Lan to be late."
all of the sudden The door and windows suddenly locked shut.
"Good afternoon Special class begins now!"the voice of*Sam Vincent rang out.
"What are you trying to pull?"Dex asked, "Schools out and there's no special class today."
"Yeah Mister who are you anyways?"
"I am Numberman." he said, "I have taken control of the electronics locks on the doors and Windows, until our little class is completed."
"THAT'S BULL!" I heard Dex exclaimed.
"There's only one way out of this room! I am going to give you a little assignment , a test in a form of a net battle,. pass it and you may leave."Number man explain
"He can't be serious about this."Maya said a bit worried about the Idea.
"Oh I am Very serious about this in fact at stake are your rare battle chips."
"There are rules about having Net battles on school grounds!"Ms. Mari exclaimed.
"Sorry but as of right now I'm make the rules, I command every system in this school. and I say what is and what is not allow!"Number man said
"I can't believe this is happening." Pointed at him, "You must be part of World three!"
"WHAT!"He exclaimed.
"Umm... may I concur something?"I asked from Maya's Pet's Maya set her PET on a stand. I saw everyone looked at me.
"I've heard a get deal about Numberman. His Owner Loves to collect rare Battle chips. The way he dose it I heard that he challenges people to Net Battles...This is new even for him." I explained.
"well A net Battle He wants A net Battle He'll get!"Dex exclaimed but he was suddenly dumped water on him with the sprinkler above.
I sighed, "He only wants to battle those with Rare battle chips."
"That's Right."Numberman said, "The only one eligible her is Yai Ayano."
"Who? Me?"Yai question.
"According to my calculations you hold the Life Aura and hero's sword chip's correct?"
"Hold on a minute Light blub head, How did you know that?"
"Insignfigint, if you refused to battle than I'll destroyed the school computer systems."
"Hey is that supposes to be a threat?My father is the wealthiest man in Den-Tech City. It's no big deal if you destroy the computer system. I'll just asked Daddy to buy a new one."
"But what about the Data?"Dex said
"You can't replace that Yai."Maya added.
"Well I'm sorry but of said that Net Battling isn't allowed on school property, anyway."Yai said
M.s Mari gently pushed Yai forward, "You have My permission Yai."
Yai sighed as she took out her PET, "Alright then. Jack-in, Glide! Power up!"
"Why was Yai so hesitated at first to Jack-in Glide?" Maya asked me as she took me near the back of the room.
"Glide Means a lot to her...I mean I think He was her first NetNavi."I said in a soft tone.
"It seams logical."Maya said.
"Hey It's Megaman!"I heard Dex exclaimed.
A little while after Maya Jacked me in and I appeared right behind him .
"Hey Number noggin! Did you tell him that you locked everybody in the classroom, and froce yai into a battle for her rare chips?"I said
Megaman looked at me, "Who's controlling them?"
"I have a pretty good guess...what kind of guy Like to collect Rare battle chips, knows how the school security system works, and Knows how to hack into it?"
"! "Lan exclaimed.
I nodded, "Yep that's who I think it is."
"They Got Are Number!"Numberman panicked
"too bad. It just make it a lot more difficult."The collector said
"? Why are these silly chips are importan to you anyway?."
"Silly? There's nothing silly about Rare battle Chips. ! Numberman Time to roll the Doom Dice."
I didn't pay attention at what happened next so much I was more concerned about Glide, he was my friend. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Megaman spoke.
"maybe there's some kind of Clue in coded in the Walls data that we can use to help us find the passwords,"
"Leave it To me."I said softly as I walked up to the Wall as I placed my Right hand on it as it began to glow. I looked behind me to see a swarm of Viruses We flying towards me. But Megaman went behind me and shot his Buster.
"Keep searching, I'll hold them off."
"I Getting something...D.O.V.E." I began, "I think it's telling us about about how man Doves there are in the school."Unfortunately Ms. Mari didn't know and Lan went Searching.
At that time The viruses were Multiplying. I didn't think that Megaman could Pull it off. Until I saw A glips of a brown cloak and knew That The Mysterious Figure came to help and started to aim at viruses burstiong them out of the sky
""You know what? You guys are a real drain."Megaman said as he notice the mysterious persons return, "Lan What's Taking you so long?"
"Sorry they wouldn't sit still."Lan said, "There's 34 of them."
"Got it in...now here's the next one...T.E.N.N-"
"I got it the Next Pass ward is the Number of Rackets the Tennis team uses!" said...unfrotunatly She didn't Know.
'Come on Lan hurry it up!' I thought as I heard him speak.
"I got it guys there's a total of 63 Rackets."
"Okay I got it in."I said as I began to speak again "The next Clue is F.L.O.W.E.R"
"I remember the last Password has to deal with the Number of flowers planted in the schools yard."
"Please tell me you know this one."Maya pleaded.
"Nope...sorry."
"Lan Hurry up!"Dex exclaimed.
After a few moment Numberman was about to finish Glide off.
"Oh No glide!"Yai cried
"I got it! It's 6 6 5!'
"Got it in!" I said as I got my hand out of the way and heard Lan shout.
"Area steal battle Chip ,in! download!" I heard Lan say.
Before the Dice could Exploded Megaman Brought Glided over to us. I help Support him as The Figure stood by my side.
Number man looked at us in shock
"You never even saw me Coming did ya?"Megaman asked as I heard Lan say, "Wide Sword Battle Chip, In! Download!"
Megaman's Arm became a sword and he ran at Number man.
He threw his dice but Megaman sliced them in half.
The number manic had on his knees and hands on the ground The sword was by his neck.
"I'm sorry! Please Don't dived me!"he begged
"Return control to the school's operating system."The blue Navi Demanded.
"As you wish! Now please let me go."
"I don't thinks so."
I looked at The mysterious figure as the person took a hold on Glide. Getting his message I let him go while the figure supported him and I went over to Megaman.
'what you have Done is un forgivable and-"He was interrupted by me as My hand was on his sword.
"Wait..." I said softly looking at the Frighten navi. I helped Numberman up as Megaman turned his sword back to his hand.
"Number-san... you know what you did was wrong right?" I asked
He nodded with anime tears.
"This could get you arrested by the NetNavi police...but I think you deserve a second chance...besides you only did what you and your net Op knows what's best."I said in a sweet kind tone.
he suddenly and Hearts in his eyes an hugged me ever so tightly, "SOOOO CUTE!"
I was suffocating, "Too...TIGHT!"
Megaman pulled him off of me, "All right bub I think You have done enough Hugging for now."
I smiled a bit as Looked to see that Glide was starting perfectly fine and The figure was right next to him. Megaman looked at him, "Hey who are you anyways?"
'"If you must know my name is Ikkaru." he began, "I only help those who are in need such as yourselves"
'So he's a guy...' I thought
He then suddenly disappeared.
"That guy...was really odd."I said softly with Megaman nodding.
'But who ever he is...knows about me and my friends' I thought looking up at the cyber sky
