Prototype X.exe and Rouge part 1
A few days later…
"Fetch Rush!" Netto shouts as he threw a ball and landed a few meter from him, unfortunately Rush just yawns and disappeared back into the net. And he made a face on it.
"I don't think Rush likes that game." Sora said, as she came out of the house, her long, brown hair is loose, her brother noted, and is carrying a pair of plates with curry and rice. She gave one to Netto, and then sat down on their front yard. As they eat…
"So… what do you think Siggy will do now?" Sora asked.
"Siggy?" Netto asked, looking at his sister.
"I meant Sigma." She replied, and Netto burst into laughter.
"You gave him a nickname?" he asked, and continues to laugh.
"Sora… you shouldn't mock your enemies like that, who knows what kind of scheme he might pull off this time." Rouge said, appearing out of her PET.
"Rouge's right, we should all watch our backs." Rockman said, who also appeared from his PET, and then their PET rang.
"Hai, Net Saviour Sora and Netto, what's up?" Sora answered.
"We have another meeting today concerning the new cross fusion." Meijin said from the screen.
"Ok, we'll be there in a jiffy, Meijin-san." Netto said.
"San wa iranai!" Meijin snaps and closes the video link. After finishing their curry, Sora and Netto skates their way to SciLab but unknown to them… In Rouge's PET.
"Ugh… No… Not now." Rouge whispered, as parts of her data on her legs broke off then reattaches itself back. She then rubs her leg before a part of her arm did the same thing and she winced. "No……" Rouge whispered, before all her data turns back to normal and then a tear silently slipped out of her eyes. 'I'm sorry… Sora.' She thought.
At the SciLab, Sora, Netto and their friends attended the meeting and discovered a few things. Like first, the Synchro Chip ver. 2 wasn't made to automatically transform the NetOp into his/her cross fusion form without the DA dome. In fact, it was made to shoot out a make-shift dome from the PET, to create a 50 yard radius Dimensional Area. Instead, the chip creates a Dimensional Suit or DS, so that it won't be easy to defuse a cross fusioner unless the enemy hits the icon very hard enough. But right now, the chip is still not yet stable and only Sora and Rouge can use it.
A few moments later, Enzan decided to help Yuuichiro to create a new PET that can stabilize the new Synchro Chip. Then the meeting is over, but…
"Sora, Netto, may I talk with you two for a moment?" Yuuichiro asked.
"Sure thing." Netto said and he and his sister followed their father to his lab.
"…Have you two heard of the Net Navi by the name, Prototype X.exe?" Yuuichiro asked, looking at the two.
"Hmmm… Not really." Netto said. 'Prototype X.exe? Is he X's counterpart?' he thought.
"I do." Sora answered and explained. "Prototype X.exe or X.exe is the first customize net navi created by our grandfather before he made Pharoahman. Unfortunately… X.exe disappeared without a trace months ago before our grandfather died, and no one knows what exactly happen to the prototype navi. Some suggested that he was stolen from the lab, other suggested that he went rogue and disappeared into the cyberspace, but most suggested that he was infected by a virus and grandpa has no choice but to delete him… That's all."
"I see…" Yuuichiro said.
"Hold off, you know all that?" Netto asked looking at Sora.
"Yeah…" Sora said.
"But why didn't you tell us that before?" Yuuichiro asked.
"Two reasons… One, the information is top secret and I just discovered it by accident. And two, grandpa promised to give X.exe as my net navi when I'm old enough to hold responsibility" then she went silent for a moment before adding. "But he suddenly vanishes without a trace and my aunt gave Rouge as my net navi instead, ne Rouge?" Sora asked.
But it seems Rouge is thinking too deeply. "Rouge?" she asked.
"Uh? Yeah, what she said." Rouge said quickly and appears right on her shoulder.
"Is there something wrong?" Netto asked.
"It's nothing… well… I'll just get back into my PET, errr… See' ya!" Rouge said cheerfully before she dives back into her PET. At first, Rockman notices her actions are weird, but Sora shrugs it off and continues to discuss about the prototype navi.
Still…
(The next day.)(At the training facility.)
"Axl… this is just training, so hit me!" CF Rouge shouts, as she prepares for his attack… But…
"No, I won't. I have to follow the policy as a Hunter." Axl said, as he crosses his arm.
"What policy?" CF Rouge asked.
"A hunter must protect the humans at all cost." Axl said, with one hand on his chest and the other raise up to his ear level, like one of the campers use to do when they are reciting a oath. CF Rouge raised an eyebrow, before she jump-kick him on the face.
"That policy is old school yo." CF Rouge said, as she landed on the ground and looks at her fallen younger brother. "Seriously, you know my CF form is strong enough to withstand any blow."
"Still, I'm not going to hit you!" Axl snapped back and turns his armor off as he stands.
"Oh… fine." CF Rouge said, as she defuse from her net navi. The siblings then walked out of the training facility and took a break in the lounge.
"Sora, I know you're upset for not fighting you, but I can't break the law." Netto said, as they sat on the couch.
"Oh, for crying out loud." Sora muttered, standing up, facing at her younger brother then punch him right on the nose. "I've face maverick back in your world, and did I get myself killed there? NO!"
"That and this are different! Those mavericks are heartless! Ow…" Netto snapped back, as he tries to ease the pain on his face.
"… Really? When I helped Fehram back there, did she try to kill me?" Sora asked.
"Sis, they were framed." Netto corrected, still holding his nose.
"But we still fought against them just to, to, to turn them into scrap metals?" Sora said, softly yet forcefully. "Mavericks should be given a chance to repent their sins."
"... Sis… I know, I'm reploid myself, but there's nothing we can do about it… It became… a habit for us, hunters." Netto said, and Sora sighs as she sat down and looks up the ceiling. The two Net Navis on the other hand remained silent.
'Is there a way to get rid of mavericks without killing them?' Sora thought, when all of the sudden, she saw her brother drinking raspberry juice and begins to pale. Netto saw this and tries to calm her down, he then offers her the juice, but she immediately jumped off the couch and backs away from it.
"What's wrong, sis?" Netto asked.
"Netto, what did you do?" Rockman asked, popping out of his PET.
"Nothing, I just notice she's getting pale and tried to give her some raspberry juice." Netto said.
"Netto! Sora is allergic to raspberry!" Rouge shouts.
"Really?" Netto counter back.
"Yeah, it all started when she is eleven… There was a country fair and Sora joined in a pie eating contest, guess what's in the pie?" Rouge asked.
"Raspberry?" Netto answered.
"That's right, after eating 6 pies, she won, and the senator was there to congratulate her. But her stomach made quite a twist and she vomited right on him." Rouge said.
"By that, the senator never appeared to any country fairs… Or it was that suit?" Sora said, after recovering a bit. "Anyway, whenever I smell raspberry, I get automatically sick."
"Oh…" Both Netto and Rockman said, as soon as Netto finish his drink and throws it in the trash, Yaito came.
"Hey." Yaito greeted.
"Hey Yai" both siblings said.
"I- Netto, you look like you've been beaten by a Darkloid." Yaito commented, when she first notices the male Hikari.
"Ignore it." Netto snapped, and looks away.
"Aaall riiight… Anyway, I got this for you, Sora." Yaito said.
"What is it?" Sora asked, as Yaito showed it. It's a perfume.
"Want to smell it first?" Yaito asked.
"Sure" Sora said, and Yaito immediately opens the bottle and told Sora to hold her breath as she sprayed some around her. By the time she smelled it, she automatically turn pale.
"Aw… Crap!" Sora whined. "Is that raspberry?!?!"
"Yep!" Yaito said cheerfully, but her smile turn into concern when she saw her friend is writhing in pain. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, and then Sora faces her as she held her stomach.
"I got a funny… coming out of my tummy!" Sora said, as her stomach begins to perform somersaults.
"Oh crap, everybody clear!!!" Rockman shouts, and Netto and Yaito quickly ran away from sick brunette.
(A few days later… after Sora's vomiting situation.)
Rouge woke up earlier, about three in the morning, to see if something is off… and she saw it... some of her data are coming off her body again.
"Damn it." She whispered and tries to recover herself before her partner wakes up. "At is rate, I might end up telling her who I really am." She hissed as she forcefully places the data back in her body, and then winces in pain.
Unlike the normal recovering procedure, forcing her own data back into her body is quite painful.
As soon as she recollects all her data and places them back in her body, Rouge looks at the clock: 6:15 am. 'Oh shoot! She's going to be late!' she thought, then puts her PET into high volume and shouts to wake her partner up… only to have Sora jumping off the bed and hitting face first on the floor.
After Sora and Rouge have a 'nice chat' about the incident, Sora hurriedly wake her brother up, which Rockman failed to do so, by flipping the bed. Then after they dress-up, they rush down the stairs, grabs a toast (while Netto also took a fried chicken leg) and ran out the door.
As they put on their wheels, Rockman notices something is wrong with Rouge. "Rouge, why are you wearing the Rhapsody Armor?" he asked, and Rouge looks at herself.
She saw her grey jumpsuit and white, yellow, and blue armor on her body, and for one thing she is shock… not only her data is flying off but her ARMOR Change System is beginning to go haywire. When Netto notices it, he thought of X's 3rd Armor (Or Hyper armor.) during the third Maverick uprising.
The only difference with Rouge's Armor is… the gem on her helmet turns completely green, and gains another pair of wings on the front. Her loincloth is replaced by a white belt and a long, trench coat and her gauntlets and boots are slightly larger than usual. Then on her trench coat/armor is a green gem sets right above her family icon.
Then it changes without warning, and transforms into also a grey jumpsuit and light blue armor. It looks like her normal armor but it has an extra pair of wings on her helmet, she has a pair of white shoulder pads and gains a mini-skirt.
"What's that?" Netto asked, looking at the new armor.
"It's the Hikari Armor, it's the first armor we got during the fight against the Darkloids. Also grandfather made it for her before he died." Sora said, and Netto looks at his sister weirdly then at the female navi.
"Oookay… Is it me or is Rouge and X are a bit the same?" Netto asked. "I mean, they got the same ARMOR Change System." And Sora shrugs.
"Ummm… Whoopsy-daisy." Rouge said quickly. "I must've turned the ARMOR Change System on, wait…" she said and concentrates, then she glowed and transforms back into her default armor.
Then they reach school on time… only to have themselves excuse when Meijin called them for a mission. And so, Sora, Netto, Enzan, and Laika skipped school and ran down town to get rid of the mavericks, but…
"Get ready." Enzan said, as they reach the area and calls SciLab for the DA dome.
"Pffft… the dome is old school." Sora commented, as she slot-in her own Synchro Chip and transforms into her CF form and then they dive into the fray.
But…
As the fight goes on…
"What?!" CF Rouge yelped as she suddenly defuse from her CF form. "What going on, Rouge?" she asked, as she picks the PET up and took her Buster Pistol.
But Sora is suddenly got hit by worries and fear, as she saw Rouge, lying on the network floor with some of her data floating off her body and writhing in pain. "Rouge!" Sora shouts, and that lower her defences.
"Sora! Duck!" Axl shouts, and ran to his sister and grabs her as he shoots on the maverick that was aiming on her. "Are you crazy?! You could've been killed by that!" Axl shouts.
"But Rouge is…" Sora said, and Rockman saw what is happening on Sora's partner.
"Netto-kun! We should get Rouge to SciLab!" Rockman said in alert, and Netto nodded. Leaving the whole battle to CF Blues and CF Searchman, the Hikari siblings quickly head to SciLab.
But… a certain navi watches on top of a building...
"… X… You are going down…soon, but first… I have to get rid of your counterpart." The net navi said, as he watches the three rushes into the SciLab and lowers his shoulder cannon. "Your very existence, X, is very annoying… even though your counterpart is different, very different from you… It really annoys me."
He then waits for his army to come… then he and the Renegades will strike. Not caring if they harm the humans, but they know only one thing… Get rid of Maverick Hunter Axl, Sora and Rouge.
