"Man, this is one long list, I'm only over half done," Said Bit as he threw the list over the desk and Sangre came into the room. "What is it Sangre?"
"Sir, I'm happy to report that we have the Net battlers are heading to Florida even as we
speak," Sangre reported as he was looking at a clipboard. "Also, we've actually finished the prototype for dimensional area."
"Man, it's already been almost two weeks?" Questioned Bit as he looked at his computer. "I need some sleep, so have all the agents head to the planes. I'll be onto the plane after I program my Navi so that he won't be like Bass and go on a rampage."
"Yes sir!" Exclaimed Sangre as he went to inform the other agents of Bit's orders.
Lan was on the plane eating some of the air line food, while watching the in flight movie. Maylu was on the same plane but in a different seat isle.
"Lan remember the last time you ate air line food?" Megaman asked from the PET.
"Aw, come on Megaman," Said Lan after he swallowed the food he had in his mouth. "I'm hungry."
"Just don't eat too much," Megaman replied.
A few hours of flight later, the plane landed in Florida. The competition was being held in Miami and all the Net battlers were allowed into the most fancy hotel in the city. Lan was in the lounge, when a familiar person walks up to him.
"Lan! Its great to see you again," Said the familiar person.
"Dex, I should have expected to see you here," Lan said as Dex began to snicker.
"Yeah, and this time, I'm going all the way to the top," Dex replied.
"Acting all friendly now, but wait till the tournament begins," Said a deep voice as Lan and Dex turn to see a guy that appears to be in his 20s with black hair and a scar racing across his face wearing red and black clothes sitting at a nearby table. "Then you'll be enemies."
"What do you know?" Replied Dex.
"Yeah, we've always been rivals, but we've always been friends," Lan added.
"This tournament is big, and friends will only weigh you down," Replied Sangre as he sat up and began to leave. "Then again, you two may not last long enough to be able face each other. See you on the battle field."
"What was up with that guy?" Asked Lan as Dex shrugged.
"The tournament starts tomorrow, good luck Lan," Dex said with a thumbs up.
"Good luck to you too Dex," Replied Lan as the two friends left each other.
The night came and went, as soon as the morning sun hit the land all the net battlers went to the Arena that was newly built by Grand Corp. Lan was actually up early to get to the tournament in time. All of the net battlers were called to the arena for an announcement. Lan saw Maylu, Dex, Yai, and Torii as well as many other people he recognized. The stands were filled to the brim with fans. On the stage was Bit Grand, holding his microphone and getting ready to give a speech.
"Welcome Net Battlers and fans all across the globe!" Announced Bit as he raised his fist that didn't have his microphone in it. "This is the World Wide Net Grand Prix brought to you by Grand Corp! We've got a recording breaking crowd in the arena today! So let's give the crowd what they want! We'll kick off this tournament with an Exhibition match with two random Net Battlers! So start the randomizing!"
After Bit gave his speech, the Net Battle Machine was raised behind him. From the machine two slots appeared from a hologram. Many pictures quickly flashed across the first slot until it landed on Lan's picture.
"And our first Net Battler for the Exhibition match, is Lan and Megaman!" Announced Bit as the crowd got excited and Lan came up to the Net Battle Machine. "Let's see who will be his opponent!"
The second slot began doing the same as the first, the pictures began to slow down. The picture landed on Zeek's picture.
"And his opponent is Zeek and Dragoon!" Bit announced as the crowd roared and Zeek walked up to the Net Battle Machine. "And without further ado, let's get this match started with!"
"Lan, I expect nothing but your best," Said Zeek as he readied his PET.
"No worries, I plan on giving you the best I can!" Lan replied as he readied his PET.
"Now, before this Net Battle begins, this will be a timed battle, which will have an added bonus," Explained Bit as a timer appeared from the hologram projector that had 10 minutes. "Now please jack in your navis!"
"Jack in Megaman! Power up!" Yelled Megaman as he logged Megaman into the Net Battle machine.
"Dragoon! Power up!" Zeek yelled as he logged Dragoon into the Net Battle machine.
Megaman and Dragoon appeared into the net battle machine, then they were displayed into the hologram projector.
"I've always wanted to face you Megaman, let the best navi win," Dragoon said.
"I plan on giving all of my strength and determination in this battle," Replied Megaman as the net in the net battle machine began to change into a random field. "What the?"
"Yeah! Here's the twist to the tournament! Every time we have a battle, a special battle field will ad to strategy to the battle!" Announced Bit as the field became a lava battlefield with stone pillars sticking from the lava, Megaman and Dragoon were standing on the pillars. "Net battlers ready? Begin battle!"
"Dragon Fire! Battle chip in download!" Yelled Zeek as he slid the battle chip into his PET.
"Dragon Fire!" Dragoon yelled as a huge burst of fire shot from Dragoon's right hand straight towards Megaman.
"Air shoes and Elecsword! Battle chips in, double download!" Yelled Lan as he quickly slid the two battle chips into his PET.
Megaman quickly flew into the air, dodging the Dragon Fire, and his right had became a sword surging with electricity. Dragoon just grinned as Megaman was preparing to attack him.
"Dragoon, show him that your wings aren't just for show!" Commanded Zeek as Dragoon grinned and his wings grew and he flew into the air dodging Megaman's Elecsword.
"What the?" Questioned Megaman and Lan.
"Take this!" Dragoon yelled as he quickly flew towards Megaman and tackled into him. Dragoon quickly rose back into the air.
"Now, Dragon Jolt! Battle chip in download!" Zeek yelled as Dragoon's hands began to spark electricity.
"M-Cannon! Battle Chip in!" Yelled Lan as Megaman's right hand became a cannon.
Megaman quickly fired his M-Cannon while Dragoon threw his powerful Dragon jolt attack. The attacks collided and were equal. The attacks wouldn't give in to one another. Time was running fast only 4 minutes and 32 seconds were left when the attacks stopped.
"I know you can do better then that Lan," Commented Zeek. "And this is going to test your skills! Dragon Blade! Battle Chip in! And download!"
Dragoon's right hand then became a sword that was sticking out of a dragon's mouth.
"I'm going to show you what I can do! Fighter Sword! Battle Chip in and download!" Lan yelled as he slid the battle chip into the PET.
Megaman's right hand became a red sword. Megaman and Dragoon both charged at each other with their swords poised and ready to attack each other. When their blades met, a huge force of energy surged from the weapons. Dragoon took advantage of the situation and kicked Megaman to one of the pillars. Megaman's pillar began to crumble due to force of the kick causing Megaman to fall to the cybernetic lava.
"Megaman!" Yelled Lan as he was trying to think of a way to get Megaman out of this situation.
Megaman was expecting to hit the lava, but that never came. Megaman looked to see that Dragoon had grabbed Megaman by his left. Dragoon then lifted Megaman onto another pillar.
"Dragoon, why'd you do that? You could have won," Questioned Megaman.
"I just wanted to continue our great fight," Replied Dragoon as he charged at Megaman with his Dragon Blade.
"I okay with that," Megaman said as he charged at Dragoon.
The two continued to sword fight until suddenly, a huge buzzing sound blared that indicated that time was up Lan and Zeek logged out Dragoon and Megaman and thanked each other for the great battle and wished to have another in the competition.
"What sportsmanship! Don't go anywhere! In one hour we will have our first official battle for the tournament!" Announced Bit as the crowd roared with anticipation. "So net battlers prepare yourselves, navis, and battle chips for it is a random selection for the first round!"
The crowd was roaring with anticipation as Bit left the arena, as did the Net battlers. Bit returned to his office, where his red and golden PET was finally finished. Bit lifted the PET and looked inside to see that a new Navi was in it.
"Lord Bit, I take it that all is going according to your plan?" Asked the mysterious navi. The navi had long black hair; his helmet was in the shape of a red phoenix head and beak, his body was hidden due to a red and golden robe that was actually wings.
"Yes Phoenixman, soon your test will begin," Replied Bit as he quickly grabbed a cloak and mask from his desk and put the clothes on. "All is coming to plan, these fools don't seem to realize that this tournament is for something much bigger than they realize."
Vyser: Well now, what's Bit's true plan? And who is battling in the first round? I'm letting you decide on who is! I've already chosen the first navi so, I'll let you the reviewers choose who is battling against the navi I've chosen, select one of the navis/netops that I posted earlier except Lan and Zeek. Till the next chapter, review!
