Ch. 14, A Beastly Awakening.
Netto stared up at the sky, and looked at his surroundings. He seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. He could tell he wasn't in Japan anymore, well not the Japan he knew at least. "Rockman what should we do?"
"Well maybe we should try to find the wolf first. I mean we were in it when we got sucked into the sky. It shouldn't be far from here."
"So where should we start to look?"
"Common sense says that it couldn't be to far from here, so lets just head ... that way." Rockman said as he appeared on Netto's shoulder and pointed directly in front of Netto.
"This is pure guess work isn't it Rockman?"
"Uh… No it is…. Yeah you are right."

"Meiru get up!" Enzan shouted as he stood above Meiru who was laying on her back.
"Where are we?"
"We aren't in Japan, I think this could be were the Zoanoroids are from." Blues said as he appeared on Enzan's shoulder.
"Well what are we gonna do?"
"Simple we need to find our machines and make sure they are in working order incase we get attacked. Then we can worry about finding the others, and a way home."
"Enzan, what if we can't get home?"
"Meiru, you are foolish. Of course we can get home, if the Zoanoroids can get to our world, and we came to theirs there must logically be a way home."
"Meiru, Enzan has a point there. We should be able to get home the same way we came here, but then the problem would be figuring out how to open a trans-dimensional vortex." Roll said as her image appeared in Meiru's hand.

"I don't see any signs of the Wolf anywhere." Netto commented as they begun to scale some small cliffs. He stared down at a small campfire with a familiar looking person sitting at it. "Rockman, maybe he could help us find the Wolf."
"Netto, we shouldn't be asking strangers."
"Well we don't know anyone here besides our teammates and we don't know where they are right now so we don't have much choice!" Netto said as he headed as fast as he could to the fire. "Hey, mister! Could you help me!"
"What?" The guy said as he turned to look at Netto.
"Barrel, is that you?"
"How do you know my name? I've never seen you before. Are you here to try picking a fight?"
"What, of course not, we met a few months ago, the fight against Duo, you traveled from the past to help the Order of Crossfusion."
"Kid, I don't know what you are trying to pull. I've never seen you before, nor have I heard of Duo, and cross fusion. If you don't believe me then we should have battle, your navi against mine."
"What, why would I want to fight you and Colonel?"
"How do you know my navi's name? You were sent to try and destroy me weren't you, admit it."
"You are crazy! But if you wish to have a net battle then where should we plug in?"
"Plug in? What are you talking about? Colonel, Transmission!" Barrel said as he pulled out an odd looking device with Colonel's symbol on it and a beam shot out from it and formed Colonel.
"What the? Rockman what should we do?"
"Well it looks like we have no choice but to battle him."
"Cross Fuse, morph what?"
"Just plug me in, or out or what ever, no need risking your self."
"Right! Plug in , Rockman.exe, Transmission!" Netto shouted as he attempted to plug Rockman into the sky, instead Rockman appeared in front of him. "Rockman what kind of chip should we use?"
"Netto, you should know better than asking me. I mean Colonel is a navi who utilizes sword chips so you should know what to use."
"Right! Drill Arm, slot in!" Netto shouted as he slid in a drill arm battle chip. Rockman's hand then became a drill and he slammed it into Colonel's sword arm, breaking it in half.
"Nice move for a starter, but maybe you should of saved that for a little later on, maybe for after you saw my choice of chips. Rock Cube, double slot in! Colonel's Army slot in!" Barrel said as he slid in three chips. Two rock cubes appeared on the field one in front of Rock, and the other behind Rock. The cubes then exploded knocking the Link Pet out of Netto's hands, and little soldiers appeared from with in them. One shot at rock, as the other slashed at him before they vanished.
"Nice move but I have other stuff up my sleeves. Such as this. Beast Chip, slot in! Beast UP!" Netto shouted as he pulled his henshin chip from his pocket and slid it into his Link Pet, after sliding in several other chips. Rockman glanced at him and started to scream in pain. It seemed that the Beast chip was affecting Netto and Rockman. They had never tried to morph when in the same plane before and now it was looking like a bad move. When the light subsided Rockman had a wolf like appearance to him, and as a dark blue color, Netto was wearing his normal ranger suit and seemed to be scared.
"What was that? You look ridiculous." Barrel laughed as Beast Rock lunged at Colonel and attempted to rip him apart.
"Rockman, stop now! I said stop! What happened, why did he change?" Netto shouted in a scared tone and without knowing it jumped in front of Rockman, his hands reached out and grabbed the navi insignia, right as Rockman's claw touched where his symbol was. The two bodies became one and Netto struggled to try and suppress the animalistic instincts. There was no way to see the actual appearance of the combined form because of the immense energy that was pouring out of them.

"Blues did you feel that sudden release of energy?" Enzan asked his navi.
"Yes, you don't think it was a Zoanoroid do you?"
"No, I hope not. But at the same time if it isn't that leaves the question of what could have that much power."
&&&&
What the hell is going on?" Barrel and Colonel asked at the same time.
"Colonel!" Barrel shouted as he returned Colonel to his device and he dove to the ground to try and survive the energy that was pouring out of Netto. Rocks cracked and fell all around them as the energy continued to be released. When it finally died down, Netto collapsed and the Beast chip popped out of the PET and Barrel proceeded to take Netto to the nearest town.
&&&&
"So you are awake. That is always nice to see."
"Where am I?" Netto asked as he rubbed his head.
"Beyondard, you went berserk when you used that chip."
"What, is Rockman alright?" Netto asked as he felt around trying to find his PET.
"I think so, I haven't seen a device like this so I couldn't be 100 but he looks like he is just resting, after all the two of you became one when he went berserk. If it wasn't for you, well then me, you, and Colonel would all be dead, and many others I believe." Barrel said as he handed Netto the PET. "Could you please tell my why you wanted my help?"
"I come from Earth, the Zoanoroids are trying to destroy it I think. Well you see when me and my friends landed here we were separated from each other and our machines. You wouldn't by chance know were a giant blue metal wolf would be would you. That would be my machine, and I need to make sure it works incase well, incase I get attacked. I don't know where my friends are, and I could use all the help I could get." Netto said.
"Yes, I think I know someone who might be able to help you. But right know you should rest, then when both you and your navi are fully rested I'll introduce you to my friend."
