Yeah! Quick update! Anyway, this is continuing on from Chapter 13. Enjoy!

Does anyone know what will happen if I forget to disclaim ownership on a chapter? Well just to make sure I'm not zapped by lightening, I DON"T OWN ROCKMAN!

Chapter 14: Myst

"Oi! Lightman!"

Lightman turned to see who had called out his name.

"Hey, Tomahawkman," Lightman greeted.

"Watcha' doin'?" Tomahawkman asked as he made it the last few feet to where Lightman was sitting along streets of Internet City.

The light blue navi shrugged.

"Where's Rockman?"

Lightman made a face. "Roll came by way early this morning and dragged him off somewhere before either of us could say anything."

Tomahawkman let out a laugh.

"It's not that funny," Lightman said pouting. "Anyway, what are you doing?"

Tomahawkman answered: "Dingo asked me to get a few things. Seeing as you're bored without Rockman, want to come?"

Lightman smiled gratefully. "Sure. Thanks," he said as he hopped off the box he had been sitting on.

"Sooo," Tomahawkman began once they had started on their way to the first of several shops on his list, "What'd Roll want anyway?"

"How should I know?" Lightman said. "She just came and dragged off Rockman without a word."

Tomahawkman smirked. "Maybe she's jealous."

"Jealous? Of what?" Lightman asked.

Tomahawkman smiled and shrugged. "You, obviously. It's no secret she likes him and she can't be too happy about him spending all his time with you."

"What?" Lightman asked, not quite getting. Tomahawkman laughed. "What's so funny!?" Lightman said beginning to fume.

Tomahawkman shook his head. "You're clueless, Lightman. Completely clueless. Anyway, we're at the first shop, so let go in. Maybe later we can check out the coliseum."

Lightman grinned. "Sure. Want to netbattle?"

Tomahawkman looked at Lightman in surprise and then smiled. "Sure thing."

-------------------

The coliseum rang with excitement as the Kero's voice rang over the stadium:

"Next up is favorite, DINGO AND TOMAHAWKMAN! And on the other side is first-timer a solo navi, LIGHTMAN!"

Both Tomahawkman and Lightman took their spots on the field. Dingo looked doubtful as the window with his face appeared.

"Are you sure about this? He's Rockman's same model and Rockman's strong but even he without chips…" Dingo muttered to his navi.

Lightman waved it off. "Don't underestimate me! Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve!" he said as he smiled confidently.

"Just don't make it a boring ba…" Tomahawkman began before being cut off by an explosion near the center of Internet City.

"What the heck was that!?" the navi friends asked at once. Lightman took off at a run toward where the smoke bellowed.

"LIGHTMAN!" Tomahawkman called.

"I'm going to check it out!" he called back without slowing down. "Are you coming?"

Tomahawkman looked at his operator.

"Let's go," Dingo instructed.

-------------------

"Run, you pathetic navis!" the dark navi laughed as he walked through the streets sending out rays of black energy. "Know the terror that is Myst!"

"It's quite all very entertaining, isn't it Jester?" Luckman asked as he walked behind the black navi.

Jester nodded. "Oh you know how much I like to play." They broke out laughing.

"Shut up, you two," the first snapped.

Both immediately stopped laughing. "Yes, Dark-sama!" they answered in strict unison.

Dark snarled as he turned back around to continue his path of destruction. Jester and Luckman dared to glance at each other, but that was it.

"HEY YOU!"

The threesome whirled around.

"Oh bother. It's one of the annoying twins," Luckman said, his tail giving a whip through the air.

"Oh, is Blues-kun here?" Jester asked excitedly. Everyone face faulted.

"No," Lightman answered angrily. "Now you idiots better leave!"

Dark smirked. "Or what?"

Lightman held up his buster. Tohawkman followed suit with his tomahawk.

"Or I'll make you," Lightman answered.

Dark let out a evil laugh.

"You? Don't make me laugh! Do you know who we are?"

"Those idiots, Myst!" Lightman returned angrily.

Tomahawkman looked at Lightman confused. "Myst? Who's that?"

"The next to rule the world, sweetie," Jester answered in her sweet voice.

"We've already have the Eon Net and the Undernet. All's that left is this one. And if this Network falls, so do the humans," Luckman continued, his red eyes flashing with pleasure.

Dark nodded in agreement.

"The Undernet!?" Lightman cried, finding it hard for such a place to fall under domination. "And what's the Eon Net?"

"None of your business, nosey," Luckman snapped.

Dark chuckled. "Stand down, Luckman. He interests me." The black-caped navi walked up to the small blue one. "What's your name? And how do you know of Myst? So far only the pesky net savers know us."

"He knows Blues," Luckman put in. "He and an…hey!"

"He knows Blues!?" Jester squealed excitedly as she jumped onto Luckman.

"Get off Jester!" Luckman yelled as he swiped at her with his claws. Luckman, Tomahawkman, and Dark all sweat dropped.

"Anyway…" Dark continued, "You're name." The light blue navi opened his mouth to give a smart-aleck response.

"LIGHTMAN!"

"Rockman!" Lightman called back in suprise as his brother ran up to him.

"What's go…"

"ROCKMAN!" Dark screeched.

"Dark-sama?" the other Myst members asked in confusion.

Dark just broke out into a loud evil laughter.

"Dark-sama?" Luckman asked again. "You know this navi?"

Dark stopped laughing and smiled evilly at Rockman. "He's on our list." Jester and Luckman both gasped.

"List?" Lightman asked as he glared at the taller dark navi.

"Yes," he said, without removing his gaze from Rockman. "We have a list of those to eliminate. Those on the list pose a threat to us. Echo, Blues, Searchman, Forte, and…" his grin widened, "Rockman."

"I WON"T LET YOU!" Lightman yelled. He let out a blast from his buster.

Dark and his lackeys jumped out of the way. Dark chuckled.

"Too slow, sweetheart," Jester said blowing him a kiss. Lightman growled.

"Rockman," Dark began, now a safe distance from a direct attack, "we could kill you now but I think I'll wait. You are not the threat you were to the others who foolishly thought they could take this world. In fact, you are of little threat now."

"What do you mean?" Tomahawkman asked angrily.

Dark smiled. "What is Rockman with out his precious operator?"

Everyone glared at the three evil navis, Rockman's fist tightening.

"You know," Dark continued, "we tried to make it quick for you. But your idiot operator just had to be stubborn and live through the hospital fire." He broke out into a frenzied laugh.

"YOU!" Rockman angrily leapt at Dark at full speed, pulling out a long sword in the process.

"Good bye, Rockman!" Dark said as he and his followers logged out. "Beware. Myst is shifting focuses now. We're done with play time!"

Tomahawkman, Lightman, and Rockman could only stand and stare to where they had been.

-------------------

Rockman and Lightman finally returned to their homepage, the sun having long gone down.

"Rockman…" Lightman began.

"Myst… That fire…" Rockman whispered.

Lightman frowned before walking up to his brother and hitting him in the head. "Hello! I'm right here! And I didn't die in that fire. No one did."

"I know, but you almost did," Rockman said. "And if you had, then you wouldn't be here."

Lightman rolled his eyes. "But I am here. So don't worry about it. We'll get our revenge and we'll do it together, like we always do!"

Rockman smiled. "You're right."

"Of course I am!" Lightman boasted.

"That's a first," Rockman joked back.

"Hey!" he said as he jumped on his twin and pulled him into a headlock.

"Warriors, I have found you."

Rockman and Lightman stopped rough-housing and looked up. A furry white creature with a small yellow symbol on its head stood before them. Lightman couldn't figure if it was more like a cat or a rabbit.

"Found…us?" Rockman questioned.

The creature nodded. "Yes. The Twin Warriors of Legend. The ones destined to restore Light to the Eon Net."
