From his new position on the field, he could clearly see the Sharo High team. To Megaman at least, they looked menacing, especially Searchman, his serious red eyes glancing around. He was sitting on a bench with the rest of the team except for Colonel, who was still on his errand.

"Colonel's not back yet," Megaman said to Steve.

"What, are you scared?" Protoman said, who was sitting right next to Steve.

Megaman gulped. "No! Not at all."

"Good." Protoman scoffed.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"How many times, Gyroman?" Colonel shouted.

"Well, I got a tip from someone that they'd make sure you didn't bother us-"

"Is that the best you can do?" Numberman said, who randomly appeared behind the couple. "Come on Gyroman. Defend your lady's honor!"

"He's right." Gyroman said. "Listen, Colonel. Iris is my girlfriend whether you like it or not. We love each other, and it's not gonna change, so I suggest you get used to it."

"Gyroman, that was amazing!" Iris said, leaping into the yellow Navi's arms. While he held her, he gave Colonel an unwavering glare.

"...I need to get back." Colonel said. "Uh, bye." He stiffly walked off. The couple just noticed that Numberman snuck off sometime in the exchange.

"Those two bought me just enough time to execute Phase III of my plan." Numberman said to himself. He pulled out a walkie talkie. "Tomahawkman, are you in position?"

"Yes, I'm in position." Tomahawk responded annoyed.

"Good. Remember when I say crashing down, you come out of the air vent."

"Whatever you say." He hung up.

Numberman stashed his radio and walked towards the cheer team warming up and chanting their cheers.

"Beautiful night, isn't it Ring?" Numberman said.

"What do you want dweeb?" Ring asked.

"I just wanted to say hello. It would be a shame if it rained, or thunder came crashing down!"

Rattling came from the air vent above their heads, then the whole grate fell out leaving a cloud of dust which the two Net Navis tried to fan away. When the dust cleared, it revealed Tomahawkman dressed in a black jumpsuit.

"Give me your Zenny or face the consequences!" the fake robber said, holding his tomahawk to Ring's neck. The rest of the cheer team started watching the assault.

"Don't worry, I'll save you!" Numberman said. "Doom Dice!" A die materialized from Numberman's hand. He tossed it at Tomahawkman, then it exploded. But it ended up being too close to Numberman, so it hit him instead.

Tomahawkman looked confused, but acted anyway. "Ahhhgh! I am broken and can no longer fight!" He slowly got back up. "You win this round, but I'll be back!" The black suited Navi dashed away.

Ring stood with her arms folded and an annoyed expression projected on her face. "What was the point of that?"

Numberman hopped back to his feet, then faced Ring with a crestfallen expression. "I just saved you! Aren't you overcome with love for me?"

"I know that was just your other dork friend dressed up."

"Oh," Numberman said. "I guess I'll just leave." He sulked away from the ringed Navi.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Megaman was in his place, right center, on the Net Battle field, still nervous. Any second the referee would shout go and the frenzy would start.

And he did.

The attackers charged at each other in parallel lines, but eventually dispersed to take on other opponents. Defenders and centers slipped into the individual squabbles to assist their teammates.

Megaman was helping Tony take down an attacker by jabbing him with his sword. They managed to log him out. But Searchman was on the move, sniping Navis left and right. He managed to log out Steve. Megaman felt bad even though he knew they just went to the time out box after being logged out. Megaman and Protoman ended up running next to each other, aiming for the same defender to log out.

Searchman fired at Protoman.

"Excuse me!" He jostled Megaman into the purple energy beam's line of fire, which hit his shoulder, causing him to fall down, but not log out.

He quickly got back on his feet and slashed a Navi trying to attack him. The crowd was roaring and the cheer team was preparing to perform.

"Let's go, let's go, fight fight fight! Push out Sharo with all your might!" The cheer team chanted. The crowd was ecstatic. Net City High's team had a spark of performance, logging out Sharo Navis left and right.

But a Navi in a light blue parka stepped up to face the remaining Net City High Navis.

"Cyber Blizzard!" The Navi spit out icy wind that froze the ground beneath Megaman's team. He turned to find Bruce's ankles encased in ice and stuck to the ground. Clint was firing his buster in an attempt to defend him.

"Look out!" Tony came hurtling towards Megaman, or in front of him, he soon found out. The red Navi stood his ground and blocked an ice shot that Megaman didn't even know about. That logged him out.

"Why did you do that...?" Megaman weakly whispered. But he didn't have time to think about that. Because there were only three Navis left on his side, two with Sharo.

It wasn't going to be pretty.
