Disclaimer: This is obvious… I don't own anything… Except for the Original Characters, the idea of this story and such.

Note: Go read Mid-Boss2997's story 'Requiem Battle Network: Cyber War'. It's how most of you expected my story would go. Ranma's a Navi, not the Operator. But some are the same. I suggest you read it. But don't you dare forget about mine! I may not be the only Ranma/Exe crossover author anymore but I was the First! Now onto mine.

Also, I wonder if anyone noticed the way Feuer took out Shiningman was the same way Blues took out Shiningman in the N1 Grand Prix…

Another thing. I screwed over myself again. I've went back and changed the ages that Takato and Ranma turned into. Their now eight and not six. Same with everyone else that they met in their class. It was just too unusual for them to be acting like that at age six. Six! It's a bit more close and easier to do at age eight. So yea… No problem… 'kay?

Chapter 9: New Acquaintances


Ranma held his head in confusion, "Argh… I don't understand any of this… Bytes… Megabytes… Gigabytes… Who the hell cares! Soon there's probably gonna be Superbytes or something! Why would I care about how much bytes or gigabytes are in a Pet and Navi?!"

Ranma had just gotten out of his class in which he was suppose to learn the capacity of a Navi and Pet.

Axl nodded, "What I don't understand is why they're teaching all this to you kids…"

"Axl… Their just weird like that…"

"Yea…"

Suddenly Yanoto appeared from around the corner and walked over to Ranma.

"Ranma? Follow me, there's someone I'd like you to meet."

"Eh? Someone for me to meet? Who is it?"

Yanoto smiled, "You'll see."

Ranma grumbled.

After a few moments of walking, Yanoto arrived in his office. As the door slid open, Ranma peered around Yanoto's legs. Inside the room, he saw there was a man with brown hair and glasses. His clothes were basically a lab coat over an orange shirt and brown pants. He was currently sitting on a chair with a young boy of about five on his lap. The child was wearing a blue bandana rather sloppily around his head though it kept sliding down over his eyes whenever he bounced around. He was wearing a white plain shirt with a orange vest over it. He was also wearing dark blue shorts with two yellow stripes running down each side.

There was also a pink haired girl. She was wearing a white blouse and a pink coat. Then there was a blue dress and that pink and yellow hair clip. Currently, she was running around the man's lap near the boy while laughing.

"Wee!" shouted the boy as his father lifted him up into the air and back down. The man laughed.

Suddenly, as if his attention was somewhere else, the man turned towards the door.

"Hey Yanoto!" he said and suddenly he almost dropped the young kid, "Whoops, haha."

"Yo, I brought Ranma here, you know, the kid we brought over? There's a second but I couldn't find him."

"So you're him?" The man pushed up his glasses as he stared at Ranma, "Aren't you suppose to be… You know… Hurt?"

The child climbed off the man's lap when he sat down and walking around.

"Yea, I thought so too, but he already healed back up in a matter of a few days."

"Wow, that's amazing…"

"You're telling me. Speaking of which, why is your son and that girl here?"

"Hmm? Netto? Ah, sorry about that but Haruka wouldn't let me leave the house unless Netto was with me. I haven't been spending enough time with him she says… He isn't the only one either… Our neighbour's daughter wouldn't let Netto leave without her... Then there's also what's his name's daughter and that Net Police guy's son… Then there's also the researcher's son…"

"You should really remember the names of your workers…"

"Wait a minute, who are you?" interrupted Ranma as he scratched his head.

"Oh, sorry about that Ranma, but I'm Yuuichirou and this is my son Netto and this is Meiru, Netto's friend."

"Say hello Meiru, you too Netto."

"Hello…"

"Hiya!"

Ranma waved.

"Well Ranma, Yanoto said you had a few questions for me. If you want to know the answer, now's the time. I don't know when the next time I'll be here will be."

"Well, I want to know exactly how I got here for one thing."

Yuuichirou sighed, "How you got here? Even I don't exactly know how you got here. One day, the rips in the Net just appeared. When we first started studying it, we got a lot of information that we never knew about. When something suddenly appeared on our scanners, the scientists were a bit too eager and took the transfer. What the result was that they pulled someone from that other place into this place. Sometimes they appear in our world, sometimes in the Net. We don't really know why."

"… Okay…"

"Anything else?"

"… I can't think of the questions I had anymore… There's just too many…"

"Just ask me something whenever you have a question."

"Okay…"

"Now, Yanoto said that we have things to talk about. Ranma, why don't you take Netto and Meiru to the Day Care or whatever. I think there are some other kids there too."

"Umm, sure…"

Yanoto the turned and bent down to Netto's and Meiru's eye level, "Netto? Meiru? I need you to follow that young boy to the daycare so that you can play. You might even make new friend there too! Okay?"

"Un!"

"Okay!"

With that, Netto ran over to Ranma with Meiru following. He then jumped onto his arm and latched on while laughing. Ranma was surprised at the sudden tackle and almost fell over. When he got his balance right again, Netto was still holding onto his hand now while Meiru was holding onto Netto's hand.

"Okay then… Let's go…" said Ranma, "See ya later." Said Ranma to Yanoto and Yuuichirou.

With that, Ranma led them out the door and through the hallway. As the door closed behind them, Yuuichirou made a comment.

"Nice kid."

"Not really. He's not really eight."

"What? You mean he's ten?"

"No, his body and everything about his is eight year old, all except his memories, mentality and personality."

"So how old is he really?"

"Here, watch this."

Yanoto the pressed a button on his desk and a television screen appeared from behind his desk. He then went into the closet and pulled out a box that was beside a second box.

"What do you have there?"

"Ranma's life. There's a second box with the second kid's life too."

"…"

"Get comfortable. Call your wife too. Tell her that you, Netto and Meiru will be staying a while."

"…"

Ranma

Ranma walked down the hall leading the two younger children after him. As he reached the daycare and walked inside, what he saw was very surprising.

"What the… What are you guys doing here?"

"Ranma!"

"Hnnn?"

"What?"

"Crap!"

Ranma was shocked when he saw not only himself, but Takato, Evani, Hurai and Niro were also there taking care of four other children.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"The same thing your doing Ranma." Said Takato rather blandly.

"So Ranma, how did you get roped into doing this?" asked Hurai.

"Well, I was told by pops to go talk to some guy. Then they dumped these two off on me."

"Well, my dad told me his co-worker brought his son over because he couldn't get anyone else to watch him even though he's rich. So I'm left with this little guy. I think he said his name was Enzan or something…" Replied Hurai as he frantically tried to stop a black haired kid from jumping off the top of the slide thing.

"Quick little thing ain't he…" said Ranma.

Hurai nodded as the young boy ran off again.

"One of this place's sponsors brought their baby girl here… Her little ponytails are so cute!" replied Evani as she held onto a young blond haired girl.

"Hey, is it just me, or does she have a big forehead…"

Everyone except for Evani nodded. Evani glared at all of them, "Just so you know, her name's Yaito." Said Evani stonily.

"Well, I was wandering around the building when one of the workers asked me to take him to the daycare since he had to go to a meeting. Little guy's name is Tohru, pretty smart too." Said Takato as he entertained the little brown haired boy with a couple of blocks.

"Why didn't he just drop him off earlier?"

"Dunno, he probably just arrived or something."

"My uncle… His partner had to take care of this stupid fat kid… He was getting in the way so my uncle called me over and told me to watch over him in the daycare… He said his name was Ducky." The boy was pigging out on the daycare's snacks.

"Dekao Niro. Dekao." Said Hurai.

"Ducky, Dekao… What's the difference?"

"He sure is fat… What the… Poor guy, already loosing hair…"

"All the better. Sooner he gets his life over with, the better for the whole food industry." Replied Niro.

"How is it, that we just so happened to all be caught and brought into this?" asked Takato.

"Let's just say that the adults are lazy. 'Kay?" said Hurai.

"Okay 'Rai!" said Evani teasing him again.

"Come on Evani… Stop calling me that!"

"Yea, well I gotta talk to the adults who watch-"

"Don't bother. Stupid people aren't here." Interrupted Niro.

"Oh… So what do we do now?"

"Dunno." Replied Hurai.

"Hey, I found these tapes in my uncle's room. It's a record of a couple of their past missions."

"Missions?" asked Ranma.

"Yea, my uncle's in one of the higher ranks in the Net Police. The Mavicker Hunters or something."

"So what do these Mavicker Hunters do?" asked Ranma getting interested while the two kids he brought here ran off to play with the other kids.

"They hunt down these infected Navis that go around doing bad things and then delete them!"

"Infected… Navis…" Takato looked a bit spaced out. Didn't he and Guilmon get infected by some weird virus? He remembered when he touched that black spot… But now that he and Guilmon were separated… Did that mean…

"So wanna see them?" asked Niro.

"Sure, we got nothing else to see." Said Evani.

"Alright! Wait here!" said Niro running out of the room leaving the fat boy to stay and eat by himself.

"Wait, don't you have to take care of… Wait, never mind." Started Evani before trailing off as she saw Dekao was still eating and not even realizing that Niro had left his side.

Hurai turned to Ranma, "Please… Help me with this kid…"

"But he's just a little kid…"

After hearing that, the Enzan ran up to Ranma and kicked him in the shin, "I'm not little!" he yelled.

"Ow! Why you little…"

Enzan screamed and ran over to Evani screaming, "Waah! That mean boy is bullying me!"

Evani looked hard at Ranma, "Ranma! Don't hurt them!"

"But I didn't!"

"Ranma! Tell him you're sorry!"

"But he-"

"Just say it and get it over with, I don't wanna listen to another of your arguments…" interrupted Takato before turning back to Tohru and piling up the blocks again.

"Fine! Sorry for not doing anything!"

Enzan started to cry from behind Evani.

"Ranma! Stop being so mean!"

"Argh! Fine! I'm sorry!"

Enzan didn't stop crying. Evani looked towards Enzan and then glared back at Ranma. When Evani took her eyes off Enzan, he stopped crying a moment to smile at Ranma in a laughing way before going back to pretending to cry.

"Goddamn little brat…" muttered Ranma, "Niro better get back soon…"

No sooner had those words left his lips, in ran Niro a bit out of breath but a bit excited. He was holding a medium sized box of tapes.

"I got it! Where's the TV?"

"Over in the wall over there." Said Takato merely pointing over at the wall without looking.

"Right!" said Niro before he picked the box back up again and brought it over to the TV. He then inserted the recordings and turned the TV on.

"Right then, let's go watch." Said Evani to Enzan and Yaito who wouldn't have understood anyways.

"Tohru, wanna go watch?" asked Takato.

"Yea!" Tohru then ran over to the TV and plopped down facing the TV.

Dekao grinned. Lots of food and watching TV. What could be better? He then grunted as he got up, picked up all his snacks and walked over to the TV where he sat down to continue to eat.

"Hey! Netto! Meiru! We're gonna watch TV, do you wanna watch with us?"

Netto and Meiru looked at each other from where they were playing. They then turned back to Ranma and nodded before running over. They then sat down right in front of the TV. Netto beside Enzan and Meiru behind Netto and beside Evani.

As the TV started playing the video, the door opened, "So this is where you all went…"

Everyone turned and saw Tom with his arms crossed at the doorway, "So you all ditch me to watch TV with a bunch of kids?" asked Tom.

"… Oh! Tom! Wanna watch with us? Niro says it's some kind of video of a few of the Mavicker Hunter's missions!" said Hurai.

"… Okay. There's nothing else to do when you guys aren't around."

Tom walked over and sat down at the back right as the video started playing.

The video opened right into a video of a young boy all dressed in light and dark blue clothes and armor.

"Hey! That's X!" said Ranma.

"X? Whose X?" asked Tom.

"It's pop's Navi! Well not really his Navi since he's changed now but this was when he was younger! His name was Rockman right now."

"He has a Navi? I never knew that."

"Shut up! I wanna see this!" said Niro.

The video continued on with Rockman infiltrating some kind of base. There were many other weird looking Viruses too. The only Virus they were familiar with was the Mettaurs. Rockman occasionally communicated with someone not in the video's sight. Ranma guessed it was Yanoto since Rockman once in a while had a couple of Battle chips used. He also had used some unusual abilities that they had never seen before. Finally, he had reached a place in front of a double door. Rockman walked through it unafraid while charging up his weapon.

As Rockman entered the doors, he kept walking through a hallway before he entered yet another door. Then, he finally confronted another enemy. A little Eskimo looking person. The two Navis exchanged a few words. While they were talking, Ranma and the other found out that the blue Navi was indeed Rockman and the little Eskimo was someone called Iceman. What followed the talk was a battle that seemed to last a long time but in reality was only a few minutes. Through most of the battle, Rockman in a different shade of color and was using some kind of electrical weapon. They could tell that it wasn't the use of a battle chip either. The racked their brains for a while for the answer but couldn't come up with it.

They kept watching many more missions of Rockman and continued on to a few missions of when he was X for a while too. Enzan seemed to be very interested in Blues too. All of them were able to agree that Sigma was indeed annoying. But soon, their parents came one by one to take them home. Netto and Meiru were taken out by Netto's father last. It seemed that they would be staying the night there. All in all, they did a good job taking care of the kids, even though they didn't really do anything. Their parents were pretty unhappy that they had spent the time watching violent missions. But they had enjoyed it…

As they finished the last of the missions that Niro had found inside the box, Ranma got up and stretched a bit before saying, "Man… I didn't know Yanoto and X did so many stuff. I didn't exactly know how good Zero was either till I saw this too."

Everyone else got up and copied Ranma in stretching a bit.

After a while of talking about what they saw, Takato thought before asking, "Hey… What time is it? It's getting dark outside too."

Hurai looked at the little watch that he always seemed to have, "It's about… Ummm… uhhh… Eight thirty."

Evani yawned, "I'm getting tired… I'm going to my room now…" with that, Evani walked off and out the door.

"Wait a minute, you guys live here too?" asked Ranma surprised.

"What you didn't know?" asked Niro before getting up and seeming to leave the room rather quickly.

"Ranma…" started Tom, "Every kid that lives here… Don't have any parents. All of the kids in our class live at home. But we're the only people in class that live here." Before he too walked out.

"Try not to mention it too much. Niro's still a bit sore about it since never knew his mom and his father soon died after because he had a really bad sickness. Tom's okay since he never knew his parents. Evani's parents left her here to go somewhere else. But she never really knew them and I… I don't know what happened. I was asleep and the next thing I knew, I was here. They say my parents had to go somewhere I couldn't go. But they never told me where. They told Evani where her parents went, but they never told me…"

Ranma and Takato were shocked. They had never known this.

"Ummm… Well… I… Dunno what to say…" mumbled Ranma.

"If you don't know what to say, it's better to just not say anything." Said Hurai sadly.

All was silent before Hurai continued on.

"Well, we better go on back to our rooms too, 'kay?" he said switching back to a more happy expression. But Ranma could still see some hurt inside.

Takato and Ranma nodded and all three walked out. They walked quietly through the halls and stairways passing by some people still bustling around. After a few twists and turns and stairs, Hurai stopped while Ranma and Takato walked on down the hallway before stopping to turn towards Hurai. He was about to go up the stairs.

"Well, my room's upstairs from here…" he said quietly, "See ya." Before he quickly continued on without a word.

"Well… That was surprising…" said Ranma.

Takato nodded before they both continued on. They then reached their room and separated before walking into their individual rooms. Walking into his room, Ranma sat down on his bed before lying back.

"They sure are a weird bunch." Said Axl breaking the silence.

Finally remembering Axl was with him the whole time, Ranma took the Pet off his side and brought it up in front of his face to be able to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"They're all different. Niro's the loud one, Tom's the quiet one, Evani's the happy one and Hurai… Hurai's kinda like what keeps them together. Kind of like a leader."

Ranma sighed and nodded, "You right."

"Of course I am, or else I wouldn't have said anything and let you fall asleep."

"I wouldn't have fallen asleep!" said Ranma sharply as he quickly sat back up.

"Of course you would have. I know how you're not really a little kid but your body is still an eight year olds. And a young body needs rests." Stated Axl.

Ranma growled under his breath. He knew Axl was right, he was feeling a little sleepy. Ranma yawned.

"See, told you."

"Shut up Axl." Said Ranma a little annoyed.

"And if I don't?"

"I'll shut you off."

"Damn!"

"Got ya there."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"You wanna go on the Net?"

"Yea! I haven't gone on for such a long time!"

Ranma picked himself up and walked over to the computer on the desk. He pushed the button to turn the computer on and waited as he sat in the chair. As it finished loading up, Ranma quickly looked at the screen and clicked a few things.

"Goddamn extra programs… Turning on every time I turn the goddamn computer on…"

"You can just set them not to turn on all the times."

"Yea right, and screw the whole computer over? Don't think so Axl."

"You could just ask Yanoto."

"Want me to switch the computer off?"

"No."

"Then shut up and wait."

"Fine."

Tiredly, Ranma accessed a program and plugged Axl into the computer so that he could connect to the Net. Ranma then waited as Axl read the new notices on the bulletin board.

"Anything new Axl?"

"Yea, it seems like I'll need a new firewall because of new viruses."

"Goddamn, where the hell do they all come from?"

"No one knows."

"Ugh."

Ranma waited as Axl looked for the new firewall. When he found it, he started downloading it into his Pet. He then went through the programs to set it up.

"Okay Ranma, I'm done."

"Great, can I sleep now?"

"Yea… Oh! New message from Yanoto."

"What is it?"

"He tells you to meet him tomorrow morning at ten."

"Why?"

"Doesn't say."

"Damn… That's just like him…" Ranma yawned again.

"Go to bed Ranma that body of yours can't stay up that late."

"Fine…"

Ranma sluggishly walked over to his bed and fell down face down and immediately fell asleep. Thankfully, the computer didn't make an annoying hum. Axl watched him sleep a bit before he walked off somewhere else. Somewhere not on the Net. He walked through the Net version of the building they were in until he finally found what he was looking for. Axl looked at it in fascination.

"I've heard of it… But I never actually knew it was true… This Virus… All this time… They were containing it in here…"

Axl touched the crystal clear case tat was holding the Virus in. He could actually feel the evil that this Virus was emitting. Suddenly he felt a weird sensation. Immediately, he removed his hand from the case.

"No way you're gonna get me. I ain't going that way." He said to the Virus.

"No way are you getting me… No way…"

With that, Axl walked off not realizing that something had already changed inside him. An unusual ability was activated.

Axl had finally gotten all the way back to where he had started from. Ranma's room. He then went from there and to the Net.

Axl waited as he flew through the connection. He then saw the gateway and quickly stopped to go through. He then emerged into the Net. Axl stretched a bit.

"Much better than a Pet." He said.

Axl then continued to walk through the prototype version of a city on the Net. There were a few screens here and there that showed nothing but static and a some of the floor and buildings weren't fully finished and was leaking out some data. Axl walked over to one of these 'leaks' and held his hand out over it. He shuddered as he felt the energies. He wasn't able to imagine what he would have felt if he stuck his hand into the 'leaks' on the floor. He continued walking through the grey city and noticed a familiar group standing together walking around. Preferring to be alone, he tried to walk past the unnoticed. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

"Axl!"

Axl internally swore, "Hey Eau didn't see you guys there."

"That's okay!" Eau waved him over as she stood with the other three Navis that belonged to her operator's friends.

Forcing himself to walk with them, the all kept talking a bit while Axl only gave his words once in a while. As they walked on, they reached a building. They all walked in with Viento and Axl last. Suddenly Viento pulled Axl to the side and whispered to him.

"I can tell you want to be alone Axl, I'll cover for you while you go somewhere else."

Axl smiled gratefully, "Thanks Viento."

"No problem." he whispered. He then pushed him away, "Alright Axl, if you have to go back to your Pet then that's alright." He said louder as if he and Axl were talking the whole time.

Immediately going into the act, Axl replied, "Okay, see ya tomorrow."

Axl then ran off and Eau peeked out through the doorway, "Huh? Viento, where's Axl going?"

"He said he had to go back to his Pet to check up on some things."

"Oh, alright."

Viento looked over his shoulder at the fading form of Axl before walking through the entrance.

Axl walked through the streets of the city, wandering and thinking about what he had seen earlier on. He then heard a commotion in a nearby shop.

"Damn you! Don't you dare try to cheat me out! I know how much this chip is worth and there's no way that it's rare!"

"I assure you! It's definitely a collectors chip that is extremely rare!"

"Like hell it is!"

Axl ran to where he heard it. He saw that the shop was a chip shop run by some kind of skinny Navi with a disco ball on his head. At least… That was what it looked like. He saw the problem was made by another Navi. The Navi was tall with mainly red and purple armor. His blond hair stuck up through the top of his helmet and curved back and seemed to hover in mid air. Axl couldn't get a good look at him before he walked out of the shop after saying something to the Navi. Curious, Axl started following him. After a few minutes of trailing after him, the Navi turned a corner.

Axl quickly walked after him and turned the corner to find himself inside an alley. Hesitantly, he walked in and slowly formed his gun in his hand. Suddenly he turned and levelled his gun with the other Navi's face. The other Navi currently was holding a scythe with a green blade and a white handle part up to his neck.

"Nice." Said the other Navi.

"I expected this when you walked in here."

"What if I had friends?"

"I wouldn't have gone in at all."

"How would you have known?"

"I wouldn't." admitted Axl.

The other Navi chuckled a bit before turning back serious, "And may I ask why you are following me?"

"Even if you did, I wouldn't be able to answer since I don't know either. I was just curious."

"Curious huh? Well curiosity can be the end of you."

"But it wasn't this time was it."

"You got lucky."

The other Navi lowered his scythe and made it disappear. Axl did the same.

"So who are you?" asked the other Navi.

"Axl. You?"

"Red."

"Plain name."

"Want to be deleted?"

"Like you could get me. So what was up with that argument at that shop?"

"Goddamn Navi tried to scam me. I was sent here by my operator to get a certain chip. It wasn't a rare one at all. Quite common actually, just not found in most shops. But when I walk in asking for it, the Navi brings it out saying how rare it was and that it cost a lot."

"That all?"

"That's it."

"Alright. Maybe we should get out of here."

"Why, afraid?"

"No, people might think we're up to something."

"… Good thought. Let's go."

Both Navis walked out of the alley and continued walking on. As they continued on walking and Axl found out that Red and his Operator belonged to a Bounty Hunter organization called Red Alert. Suddenly a gate formed right in front of Axl and Red as they were walking. Out of the gate came another Navi. The Navi shaped like a messed up kangaroo with a boxer kind of look. He was also quite short. Also, he was very pink in most places and yellow in a few spots.

"Red. What's taking you so long? Red Alert's…" The Navi trailed off as he saw Axl staring at him, "What with you? Amazed at my glory?"

"My god… You're pink!"

"Goddamn you! It's not my fault my Operator liked pink! Anyways Red, Who's this? New recruit?"

"No, just someone that I met. But now that I think about it, Axl would make a good team-mate. What do you say Axl? Wanna join Red Alert?"

"Join Red Alert? Sorry, but I really can't. My Operator's pretty young and I was just programmed a few months ago."

Red frowned, "That's too bad, but if you ever want to, just give me a message. Here's my link." Red put his hand on Axl's shoulder and directly transferred some information to Axl.

Axl nodded his thanks.

"Red, did you get that chip we asked for?" asked the pink kangaroo.

"No, the owner tried to scam me. We'll need to look somewhere else." Replied Red.

"Alright then, let's go."

"Lead on kiddo."

"I'm not a kid!" shouted the kangaroo.

They both then walked through the Gate.

Axl scratched his head in confusion. He then looked at his internal clock. He then realized that he had been out on the Net for a long time now and had to go back and recharge. Axl sighed. He didn't know how to get back to his gate. Axl then remembered how he got through the maze. He then ran into a tall building and climb all the way to the top. Axl looked around the place looking for a familiar sight. He then found where he had came from and quickly ran and jumped his way over the rooftops to get where he wanted. Soon enough, Axl found the right gate and went through it. He then went through the connection and through a couple of places before he reached Ranma's computer. He the connected to hi Pet and went through. After that, he cut the connection between the Net and Ranma's computer.


Black Guilmon

Black Guilmon tripped yet again as he was walking.

"Ow…" he moaned sadly.

"Guil, you've gotta learn how to find your center of balance…" said the girl.

"But Black Guilmon has no tail…"

The girl sighed, "You don't need a tail to balance yourself."

"But Catmon has tail…"

"I ain't a Mon! Also, just so you know, I'm not just your average kitty cat!" said the Cat as he swished his tail.

Black Guilmon sadly got back up onto his new found feet. He still hadn't found a way to change back. His new body was the average build for a Navi. He was completely back with a red glove that had a small blade curving back coming out from the outside of his glove on each hand. His boots were also red with three curving upwards small spikes on the back of his boots. On the sole of each boot were two small, flat boosters that he was able to use to boost his speed. He basically had to turn them on and angle them so he shot forward. At least that was what he probably was supposed to do; he usually ended up crashing into something. He also hand a small flat pad on the top of each hand, and the top of each of his boots where his feet were. He had not figured out what they were yet.

His helmet was mostly shaped like his helmet from when he was Gallantmon was only the silver was all black too leaving the only parts of his face that was in the open was his yellow eyes his mouth had always been covered by another type of mouthpiece that wasn't from his original helmet which had a v shaped line on it and was colored purple. His helmet also had a purple blade that curved backwards from each side of his helmet. Even his eyes would be covered if he put down his visor though.

On his chest and on his forehead was the ever familiar Digital Hazard symbol that had been given to him by Takato. On his shoulders were another two small blades that curved backwards on each side. On right on his shoulder at an angle and another on his arm. Although they were really small, they were still there. Another feature was that he had a purple line running from around the top of his boots, and around the bottom of his gloves that extended out towards his symbol and then connected there yet again running around the symbol itself.

Basically, he was a normal Navi colored in base Black, red features and purple extras with a few blades on his body. Other than running right at the other enemy and slicing them as he past, he was also able to use the blades on his forearms on his gloves like he used his Dragon Slash when he was Growlmon. He had also found out that he had an alternative to his Pyro Blaster. Whenever he wanted to use it, a small blaster would appear under his glove and attach to the bottom of it. His left arm had a small cannon while the cannon to his right would be slightly bigger. When he tried using it, his right blaster would give out more explosions. That was how Guilmon figured how strong his attacks were. By the explosions and how big they looked.

That was how the new Black Guilmon, or Guilmon, was. Ever since he had been in this new form of his, less of those people Navis would attack them. Even though they would be sceptical, they could now be able to walk into the more crowded places without being attacked. It was more relaxing, but Black Guilmon really liked his original form better.

Black Guilmon sighed as he tripped and fell again. It was getting very annoying and very little things ever annoyed him. He had been getting very annoyed at a lot of things lately. He just wanted to blast them all away. The Cat's head drooped a bit and the girl gave out yet another loud sigh.

"Alright," she said, "We're gonna have to make a stop."

"What for?" asked the cat.

"I'm going to teach Black Guilmon some stuff that I learned from before we came here."

"Oh… Okay…"

The girl gave yet another sigh, "Black Guilmon… Stop, we're taking a break then I'm going to teach you something."

Black Guilmon turned around confusedly since he had been thinking deeply that he didn't hear her, "What are you going to teach Black Guilmon?"

"How to fight in that new body of yours."

Ranma

The next day as Ranma woke up; he stretched out and got out of bed. Realizing he was still in the clothes he wore yesterday and that they were all wrinkled up, he realized he would need to get a shower and change clothes. After taking a shower and throwing the used clothes in a box he used for laundry, he dried himself with the use of his ki and walked out to get a new set of clothes which were, the exact same thing he always wore.

Ranma then walked over to his Pet to check it. Turning it back on, he saw Axl standing there.

"Ranma, you realize what time it is?"

"Huh? Yea, nine fifty five."

"And what time did you have to meet Yanoto?"

"… Crap."

"Exactly, move Ranma move!"

Quickly, Ranma attached the Pet to his side and ran out of the room taking a brief stop at the kitchen to get some bread to eat. As he ran through the building with the bread in his mouth, he brought up a wind around him that startled many people. He soon reached Yanoto's office and out of breath, walked in.

"Well look who woke up late today." Said Yanoto.

"Shut up… What was it you wanted me for?"

"Follow me. There's something I need you to do."

As Ranma walked out, he saw Yuuichirou lying down on the couch rather tiredly. Realizing that Ranma was looking at him, he gave him an explanation.

"Yanoto made me stay up all night watching something."

"Oh…"

"Let's go Ranma."

"Okay."

Yanoto and Ranma then walked out. Yanoto began leading Ranma through the building. They finally stopped in front of a door labelled 'Lab'.

"Come in." said Yanoto as he walked into the room.

Following, Ranma instantly saw many machines and papers around the room.

"Umm… What am I here for?"

"Just wait and follow me."

"Alright…"

Soon, they reached a room by the side with a simple desk and chairs.

Sitting down Yanoto started to explain.

"Ranma, I want your help in a project I'm doing."

"What? How am I suppose to help?"

Yanoto sighed, "We've done this project on many other and they can't seem to get it to work properly. I've gone through many people with great skills in Net Battling but that didn't work. I started to try other people too. None of them worked properly except for certain individuals. So I want you to try."

"Ummm… What am I suppose to try and do?"

Yanoto smiled and looked at Ranma with a twinkle in his eye.

"Cross Fusion."


KrayZi: Done! I'm done! Are you all glad or what? Huh? Sorry about the longer delay. New school year and stuff… Bleha. Another thing, yes I do know that Cross Fusion is in Axess. For those who haven't seen Axess, I feel so sorry for you people…

Kao: Now, KZ would like to thank the following people.

Hiryo: Thanks for those sites you sent me. The Gamefaqs one I already knew about… Read the whole goddamn script to get a feel of Axl's character then I found out that X was completely different there and here… Meh…

Mid-Boss2997: Frikin hell man, that was a lot of info on Forte. Thanks a lot. Now that I got all that, it'll be easier to bring him in. Thanks, looking forward to your fic too.

Needmore: Thanks for your info too, your info gave some other stuff that Mid-Boss didn't have. Thanks a lot for that too.

Fatboy: Robot! Thanks a lot!

Praising Robot: KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! … … …

Kao: Damn… Is that all it can say? That's gonna get kinda annoying…

KrayZi: Shut up you! It's from a fan! No matter how annoying it might get, it's something a fan gave me!

Kao: I bet you'll get mad at it soon enough…

KrayZi: Shut up! Now onto the reviews!

Note: Still no reviews from most people who have me on their Alert list…


To: Firehedgehog

Krayzi: Yea, you're right about the Nerima thing… Kinda obvious what they would do…

Kao: The Tamers are a different story though… Kinda…

Robot: KrayZi is the Greatest!

Krayz: Shush you, anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Robot: Go KrayZi!


To: Max Knight

Krayzi: Yep, that was my longest chapter last time. This time not so, since there wasn't much to show this time, just introduce more people and stuff… And what was it? OMG! Cliffhanger! OMGOMGWTF!!?!?!?

Robot: KrayZi is the Greatest!

Kao: Yea, apparently, KZ thought it would be fun to steal ideas from other peop-

Krayzi: Shut up! It's not stealing! It's…. Borrowing! Yea! Borrowing! It's a good idea so I thought I would kinda over use it in the last chapter… Next time, it won't be so much, probably only used for jamming up other Navi's busters and stuff…

Kao: Laugh at people making fun of you? Man, KZ's like that too.

Krayzi: mostly because of how their insults are pretty much over used… How many times have you heard F--- off around the place? Or what about 'You suck'? How many times have that been said? Insults are really wearing off…

Kao: Yay, less competition!

Krayzi: Shut up! I wanna read his fic too so be qui-

Robot: Go KrayZi!

Kao: Hehe… Getting annoyed?

Krayzi: I will… not be… annoyed…

Kao: Yea, thanks for your review too!


To: Silverscale

Krayzi: Ah yes, but don't you remember how they got there in the first place? Through those rips in the Net and Ranma and Takato used up the last ones. There's no other way for anyone else to go through that way without taking a big risk in getting lost in the universal streams since they wouldn't have a lead. Even with magic would be pretty much guess work. I don't really wanna make up a new reason of how to get there either… Bleha… So lazy. :P

Robot: KrayZi is the Greatest!

Krayzi: Not annoyed… not annoyed… Yea, anyways, I've stated that there's not gonna be any Romance unless it's already there like Meiru likes Netto and stuff.

Kao: Hehe, thanks for reviewing!


To: Master Chaos

Krayzi: Weird? Yea, I'm weird too and cool? Of course it's cool, Ranma's there.

Kao: As to where those Viruses came from and by who… I'm guessing you haven't seen Axess then… Have you?

Krayzi: Haven't seen Axess? Ah! No! Evilness!

Kao: This is how you treat your fans?

Krayzi: Fans… But Axess… Evilness… Fans… Axess… But the Evilness…. Fans… Axe-

Robot: Go KrayZi!

Kao: Yea, girls are weird like that, KZ's sometimes says weird things… He's careful not to say most things around girls though…

Krayzi: Well it's most girls okay? Yea, anyways, Evani's weird, kay? Just think that and all will be fine. Also, no 'bye'! You're coming back! You must! Even though the… Evilness… You must, must, must, must come back!

Kao: Thanks for reviewing!


To: Hiryo

Krayzi: Perfect? I'm flattered, but no, it's not perfect. They're probably too lazy or stuff…

Kao: 'Click' affect? You know what he's talking about?

Krayzi: Unfortunately no. Do you mean as if you do something to the way you use the chip? Like in the Battle Network games, if you attack the Viruses at a certain time with a chip, you stun them and sometimes get Bugfrags?

Kao: Thanks for the sites too! Speeded up progress!

Robot: KrayZi is the Greatest!

Krayzi: Goddamn it!

Kao: Thanks for reviewing…


To: fatboy

Krayzi: Find the animes? Well didn't I answer the question this time? What would you have thought if you found out your whole life was actually just a make believe story. That it didn't matter what the choices were because you were always gonna pick a certain thing. What would have happened to your mind then?

Kao: Ka-Plunk!

Krayzi: Exactly, your mind would take a nosedive and then the boy's determination, their arrogance, everything would have been lost. They would have just lived life monotonously. Got that?

Robot: Go KrayZi!

Kao: As you can see, we still have the Robot and it is still in one piece.

Robot: KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! KrayZi is the greatest! Go KrayZi! … … …

Krayzi smacks Robot: Goddamn it shut up! I need to talk and stuff!

Robot: Schhhht! Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze…. Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze…. Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze…. Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze…. Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze…. Kraze… Isot… Greatest…. Ngo…. Kraze….

Kao: Haha! Sounds like it's saying "Krayzi is not Greatest!' 'No Krayzi!'! Hahahaha!

Krayzi: Shut up… Shut up… Crap… I screwed it up… Kao, do you know Robot mechanics?

Kao: Yea, here, move over

Kao tinkers on robot: There you go.

Robot: Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! … … …

Krayzi: Damn you Kao! That was for me!

Kao: Well you pretty much screwed up it's internal mechanics…

Krayzi: Well damn…

Kao: As you can see, I have made a much better use for this robot of yours!

Krayzi: Damn you!

Kao: Thanks for reviewing!


To: needmore

Krayzi: High recoil? Ran… Hehe, silly Ran… Booyaka! Ran bombs! Hehe… ? Just so you know, I had already thought of the high recoil before the first strip with the high recoil from Ran's gun.

Kao: Man, change forms? How stupid would that get?

Krayzi: Remember? They took that from Makuramon's Data. Makuramon used it to disguise himself as a human. Guilmon accidently used it to disguise himself as a Navi. He can only change to forms from a Digimon and Navi. But a Navi doesn't Digivolve…

Kao: He's got a lot more stuff building on the levels on Digimon and stuff.

Krayzi: Shut up you.

Robot: Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze!

Krayzi: Goddamn!

Kao: Hehe... Well, anyways, thanks for reviewing.


Yea! I'm finally done all the reviews too! Sigh… took me a while… Damn… need sleep…. Sigh… so tired… bed… need sleep… Man…

Axl in X7: Can Axl only use the double gun for that attack he took from what's his name? Or can he use the double gun for any attack?

Robot: Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is not the Greatest! No Kraze! Kao is the Greatest! Go Kao! Kraze is no-

Krayzi hits Robot hard: Shut up!

Robot: Squeek! Zzzzt! Scchhhhht! BOOM!

Krayzi: Ow…

Kao: … It's not wise to stand in the middle of an explosion…

Krayzi: Shut up… Just shut up… And you! Yes you people out here reading this, review! Cya next time!
