(Chapter 11)
"Ademu, is it possible this Navi could be...?" Dragoman asked.
"We don't know how she was programmed. If Regal went to all that trouble to make her, then I don't think even getting deleted by Forte could get rid of her for good" Ademu answered. "Can you sense any program abilities yet?" he asked.
"Not yet. They must not be recreated yet. Should we try to delete her now, or should we leave her and go tell the others?" Dragoman questioned.
"Attacking her now might give her program a jumpstart. Leave her for now and we'll send an email to the others about it" Ademu answered. Their head nodded.
(Elsewhere...)
"Wait, Michirure-chan, you want to do what?" Heart asked. Michirure had her plugged in.
"I want to help Ademu-niisan. I know there would be no way in getting a Synchro Chip because of Ademu's being a Net Savior, and with our parents gone, I think that Ademu's commander would ask him about whether he should give me a Synchro Chip. I was you for just over a year Heart. What's a little longer going to do?" Michirure replied.
"Michirure-chan, I know you asked me to copy the program from Dragoman last night, and I did, but I want to step in here. From what Dragoman told me, Pyra and Chaos are very powerful Navis. Us fusing wouldn't help anyone. If we want to be of any help, we need to get hold of a Synchro Chip" Heart told her operator.
"I know that Heart, but I know Ademu wouldn't let me get one" Michirure shot back "Please don't look at me like that Heart, I don't want you to take Ademu's side" she pleaded.
"Michirure-chan... I don't want you hurt while you're using my body. If we fuse, my powers won't increase, the only difference is that if we get deleted, both of us will die. At least if you're out there, then you'll be safe" Heart explained.
Ademu came in, behind Michirure and put his hands on her shoulders "We know you want to help Imouto, but you could get killed. I don't want anything to happen to you" he told her, then noticed the few tears that had formed in her eyes. "Tell you what. When we take down Nebula, I'll take you to Internet City. I'll invite everyone if you want" he added.
"I could go anytime if I wanted to Ademu. I was right there fighting with you and Dragoman back when we were working for Regal. You know I can take care of myself" Michirure said, she felt something wet drop onto her shoulder, she looked up at her brother. "Ademu?" she asked, worried.
"I didn't mind then because I knew Dragoman was there to protect you. You got used to being a Navi, and you could pretty do much anything that Heart could. Back then we didn't have to take on Navis like Pyra and Chaos. But now that we have to, I don't want you to go onto the net, we already lost Mom and Dad, I don't want to lose you too" Ademu explained.
"As much as I hate to interrupt Ademu, you have an email from Meijin that I think you should to see" Dragoman spoke up. Ademu got out his PET and Dragoman showed him the email. 'Ademu, Chaos is causing havoc on the net. We have everything in place to take him down, but we need everyone available to confront him. You, Kurisutaru and Saratu must get here. Come through the net, I gave Kurisutaru a Data Sync Chip. Slot any battlechips into your PET that you think will be useful, you won't be plugging out before fighting Chaos'-Meijin
(At the Science Labs, minutes later...)
"Good, all of you are here" Meijin said, noticing R-Neta, R-Dragoman and Unity enter the server.
"So what's this about Meijin?" Netto asked from R-Rockman.
"As I said in the email, Chaos is causing havoc on the net. You're the only ones who can even hope to have any chance of defeating him. The reason I called all of you here to fight him is because we don't know the true extent of his abilities, we don't know how strong he is" Meijin explained.
"He took our Double Charge Shot, and while we thought it did damage to him, it looked like his injuries didn't hinder him in any way" Rockman said.
"That's the problem. A scan of him that your system recorded said that it would take many more Double Charge Shots than you have enough energy for to actually delete him" Meijin explained.
"But," Neta began "Rockman and me have a Final Style Change that may have that kind of power. The problem is, I'm not sure how much it would strain Netto and Kurisutaru. That, and Rockman hasn't been able to use this last Style yet, so he might not be able to handle all of that power" she replied.
"I wouldn't worry about that Neta. Both of you have at times gone way beyond my expectations in your abilities when I designed both of your frames. With what Netto and Rockman have been through in the past, I would say if you can handle your last Style, then so can Rockman" Yuuichiro answered as he appeared on a screen link.
"Do you have the chip data for him Hikari-hakase? This style could really help us take Chaos down quicker" Unity asked.
"We can always transfer the data to chips when they come off the net" Meijin pointed out.
(Later...)
Everyone had made their way to where Chaos was causing trouble. A vast number of viruses were with him. "Well, we've found him" Netto spoke up.
"We don't have time to delete all of these viruses. Go straight for Chaos!" Enzan called out, everyone nodded.
'Ready Kuri-chan?' Neta asked. Kurisutaru nodded their head.
"Battlechip Big Red Wave! Freeze Bomb! Sparkler! Gaia Sword!" Kurisutaru called out.
'I think it's the same order Netto-kun' Rockman told him. Netto nodded.
"Battlechip Salamandra! Fountain! Thunderbolt! Gaia Blade!" Netto called as he activated the chip programs.
"Shinka Program! Deni Style!" R-Neta yelled as her transformation began. Her armor gained a red design, while her hair became blonde.
"Shinka Program! Saito Style!" R-Rockman shouted as he began to transform. His armor became green and his hair became brown. Both of their AIs instantly switched.
Chaos was taking everyone's attacks, and didn't seem to be too bothered about them. When R-Blues attempted to slash him, he dodged out of the way.
'Rockman, I feel strange...' Netto spoke up.
"We've become fully linked" R-Rockman smiled.
'All these images flooding into my head... Mama, are they your...?' Kurisutaru asked.
R-Neta nodded "They're my memories Kuri-chan. Both human and Navi. I can see yours too" she answered.
R-Rockman charged ahead. Chaos fired a shot from his cannon, only to have it blocked by the barrier that Rockman put up
R-Neta was about to run ahead to help R-Rockman, when she sensed something. An Invisibility chip wore off, to reveal Pyra, charging towards Unity.
"Unity! Look out!" Neta called to her. Unity looked behind her, but didn't have the time to react before Pyra pinned her to the floor. R-Neta formed her Net Blaster and aimed at Pyra.
'Mama, you might hit Saratu!' Kurisutaru cried.
Unity didn't struggle. She closed her eyes, and whispered "Yuugou Program, execute...". She disappeared into Pyra's frame and various plates of green armor formed over Pyra's chest, forearms, and legs. Pyra then seemed to have some trouble moving. Her body wouldn't move how she wanted it to.
"How'd you get so strong?" Pyra managed to get out.
"Its the Unity frame. It's given me the power to be able to fight you. I know I didn't have the strength to withstand you at all when you stole my body, but now I do" Unity answered.
Pyra smirked "Doesn't matter how strong that frame makes you. I thought you might try something like this, so I made a little something especially for you" she said. "A concentrated version of the wind up virus!" she added.
"Why doesn't it affect you?" Unity asked.
"My anti-virus program protects my important programs, the only ones infected are the ones that your program fused into when you fused with me. Meaning it'll infect your entire program, and since it's a concentrated version of the virus, it won't take months for the changes to happen to you, it'll take minutes" Pyra explained.
Unity smirked "You're bluffing. I've been a Navi long enough to know what programs and viruses a Navi has in them while I'm fused with them. I'd have noticed by now if I were infected" she replied.
Pyra scowled, a little annoyed Unity had seen through her plan. "You do know you can't kick me out of this body, we're on the net" Pyra shot back.
"With Saratu-chan restraining you, changing that won't be a problem" Neta laughed.
"Mom, Kuri-chan, while I have Pyra restrained, you can go help the others take down Chaos. She won't be bothering you" Unity told them.
'Thanks Saratu-chan' Kurisutaru replied.
At that moment, R-Rockman was firing many buster rounds at Chaos, which seemed to be hurting him. R-Roll, R-Blues and R-Dragoman were all scratched and bruised, but they were still fighting.
As R-Dragoman moved in for another slash, Chaos grabbed his blade. He then spun him around, and a claw formed on his hand, which he slashed R-Dragoman in the back with, making R-Dragoman fall to the floor. The claw reverted back into his hand, and he formed a chip program. He threw it at R-Dragoman, and his body absorbed it. His armor reverted to his normal Navi armor, but still had Ademu's face.
Everyone else present gasped. Chaos disappeared, and reappeared behind R-Roll. Another chip program formed in his hand, but R-Rockman disappeared, and appeared again right in front of him. "You're not doing the same to Roll-chan and Meiru-chan" R-Rockman said as he charged his buster and fired right in Chaos' face. Chaos stumbled back at bit.
'His speed... He's got a lot quicker than when I last fought him...' Chaos thought.
(Elsewhere...)
"I wish he'd stop moving just when we're about to lock onto him" Laika said. He and Searchman had separated from the rest of the group to get a good point to snipe from. He had it, but Chaos wouldn't stay still long enough for them to lock onto him.
"He might sense us Laika-san, we don't know all of his abilities" Searchman pointed out.
(Back in the fight...)
A light flashed high above everyone. A large phoenix was rushing down towards Chaos. In the Phoenix's flames, a winged figure could barely be seen. The Phoenix engulfed Chaos, and the figure inside jumped out, revealing herself to be Chibura.
"Chibura, what-" Neta asked, but Chibura cut her off.
"We came because you're taking too long with him. When Yuuichiro told me about your Final Styles, I thought they'd have the power to delete Chaos" Chibura answered. "My attack won't hold him down long" she added. Spirit flew down and landed at her side, with a nod.
A dark energy erupted from the Phoenix, destroying it. A dark aura formed around Chaos, and he looked angry. He quickly dashed over to R-Blues, and smirked as he formed dark energy on his hand, then thrust his hand towards R-Blues' icon. R-Blues easily noticed what he was doing, and dodged without effort.
"Battlechip Z-Saver!" R-Blues called as he formed the sword in his hand, and sliced Chaos in the chest, making him stumble back a little.
"Rock Buster!" R-Rockman called out as he formed his buster again.
"Net Blaster!" R-Neta called as she also formed her weapon.
They both began charging their weapons. Once fully charged, they both pointed their weapons at Chaos.
"Burst Charge Shot!" both yelled as two large bursts of energy erupted from their weapons, twice the usual size of a Charge Shot. Both attacks struck Chaos at the same time, and almost of all of Chaos' frame had been damaged, and was pixelating. They could just see a glowing sphere inside of his chest. Both R-Rockman and R-Neta dropped to one knee, panting. The attack had taken a lot of energy.
"You couldn't delete me with all of your energy. Prepare to be deleted" Chaos said as he began to charge up an attack.
"We didn't plan to" Rockman smirked, still panting.
"We guessed you had a program like this, and we just used our attack to leave you wide open" Neta added.
"Target Locked! Scope Gun!" R-Searchman called out from a long way away, and his shot struck Chaos through the back, shattering the sphere inside of him. He began to break up, eventually, he completely disappeared.
Pyra was still having a lot of trouble moving, thanks to Unity. She was shocked that they had been able to delete Chaos, but was still trying to make Unity get out of her system.
Unity sensed something was wrong with her system. She wondered if Pyra could have been telling the truth about the concentrated wind up virus that she said was infecting the parts of her system that Unity had fused into.
