The first thing MegaMan noticed upon booting up was that he had his old body back; at least one of the Style Changes. While he was glad he wasn't stuck in that Default body anymore, he was more concerned about just where the heck he was.

Wherever it was, he couldn't deny it's beauty. Excellently rendered flowers and plants of all types, dripping with water with the proper physics applied to them. The water was crystal clear, with the bottom of the many pools in here fully rendered. The floor, ceiling, and walls were all a pristine white, made of some form of marble that was slightly reflective. The room was bright, and yet not. It was as if something here was dimming everything oh so slightly, just enough that regular people wouldn't notice.

And at the end of wherever this was, was a girl, a Navi modeled after a teenager, and who had to be the palest one he'd ever seen. She looked to be around 17 or so based on her model, with a peach-white leotard underneath a transparent whitish-pink dress, and knee length white stockings. Her hair was short, sticking out to both sides, and her face was impassive, expressionless, as she stared him down. "Why are you here?"

MegaMan flinched; he quickly turned down his sound settings from the intensity of her voice. It was so quiet and yet, it was hitting him from every other sound channel! "That's what I want to know! Where's Lan?!" If he was here, then that means that Lan must be in trouble! He had knowledge of every public and private part of Cyberspace in ACDC, and this? This wasn't in ACDC!

The girl tilted her head, suddenly in front of him. "How odd...you are a NetNavi, a boy at that, and yet you have a human soul, just like an LRIG. and you have the necessary files to participate in this game." She continued to stare at him, causing MegaMan to reflexively form his Buster. "I have not seen hide nor hair of the current Master of the Room, which means either her human father has her busy, or she is unaware of your presence." There was a hint of delight in her voice despite her face saying otherwise. "We have much to discuss, Hub Hikari." She suddenly found his Buster in her face. "I am on your side. While that man's security measures prevent me from telling you his plan, who he is, or even who the Master of the Room is, I can help you in your plight."

MegaMan kept his Buster trained on her head. "First thing's first; where's Lan?"

"In grave danger. Your friends will prevail on this front, but once you reach your school, you will need my help."

"...And that help is?"

"Later. You are too damaged to accept my help at this moment, so I will speed it up to the best of my abilities. Until then, this meeting serves as a way to bridge us together."


ACDC GateWay Network, 24:00

GateNet#1

The Gate Network's security system was remarkably simple. Colored barriers relegated where you could or couldn't go, and the color of the energy barrier in the hallway you were in dictated what tower you would go to. As a result of this, the two Navis separated, Glyde taking the blue tower, and GutsMan taking the red.

|Find anything GutsMan?| Dex typed, he and Yai having switched to text mode so their captor wouldn't hear them. Right now the bulky Navi was searching through the red tower's database on it's 2nd floor. |Please tell me we don't have to do anything in the real world?|

"I'm not sure, guts guts." He transmitted the information to Dex's PET. "There's two ways to activate this tower, from here, or from your end."

|I Hat TsgsGSH I hate that so much!| More criminals use their Navis instead of going in person to the scene of the crime, so now it was customary for some Cyberworld security measures to have their two step verification be in the human world, which often involved some arduous, annoying task that'd leave fingerprints everywhere- since such devices only worked with the touch of a warm, living hand- or just wasn't worth it in the end. |What's the other way?|

"We send out an emergency call, guts. We do that and the entire network opens up for a security sweep."

{Absolutely not!} Glyde admonished over the tower's speakers, having gotten enough access to do so. {The security sweep is Class VI you fool!}

"WHAT?!"

|Huh? What does that mean?|

GutsMan deflated. "It means if I did that, the system would start by autodeleting any unregistered programs on the Network, guts. Jack-Outs are locked, and we can't do anything about it."

{Not to mention that this system wasn't built for that security protocol! Activating it would, as you kids say, 'brick' this entire system!}


"..." BubbleMan considered those words; they were coming from a pretty smart guy…. "Nah, he's just trying to blubbing trick me!" He got that security protocol off the PirateBay in UnderSquare, for really cheap too! No way a deal like that was a bad one!

|So what do we do now, Glyde?!| Dex complained.

{We stop communicating for one, and act out our plan as detailed!} Was what he yelled before he cut the communication.

"Guess we gotta do the real world thing, Guts."

|Yeah yeah yeah..|


With a groan of disappointment, the pajama-clad kids got to work fiddling with whatever. Since MegaMan was still out of commission -which meant Lan didn't get the update about some new Warp Gate available on his PET- his scanning software, which would make this a whole lot easier, they had to do this the hard way. By hand. You can just imagine the joy they were feeling. "Keep going, it's gotta be around here somewhere!" Well, Dex and Lan were feeling the 'joy', Yai was sitting down on BattleChip duty, both hers and Dex's PETs in her hand and with both hers and Dex's selection of Chips, including the Chips Lan gave them, on her left and right respectively.

A plant here, a small aquarium there, there were Jack-In ports in some, not in others, but all of them were closed off from the main network, which meant there was no way to communicate with the walkway's main server, ergo, no dice. The Real World was their best bet, so they had to find something that could indicate a switch, or anything they could use. In addition, as long as that Saberruff and it's unknown master were on the network that they needed in order to escape, taking their Navis out to inspect these ports was not an option, lest they get locked out when they try to go back in.

'Where is that thing?' With that HP+ addon, it would have enough health to tank a good GutsPunch or three, and be fast enough with it's built-in Cross Sword to delete either of their Navis.

ROOOOAOAAAAAAAR!

GROOOWLL!

The three paused as the animals began to bang on the glass.

SLAM!

SLAM!

SLAM!

"GUYS, HURRY UP!" Yai quickly looked up; no cracks in the glass, thank goodness…..but that raised another important question.


"Calm down, Mistress Yai." Glyde outright ordered; there was no time for formality here. "Don't let this monster know you're afraid!" 'How on earth is this mastermind controlling these animals?!

|Oh I'm so calm, so very very calm!| Yai typed as she laughed like a fearful, drugged up hyena. |I wanna go hoooooomeeee!|

"I understand…" This had just been an outright awful day for everyone involved, just the longest day so far. "Now let's get these towers up and running!" At his command every blue gate changed to red, cutting off any previous access points and opening up new ones. "GutsMan, I'm going to go over to the sector near the train station."

{Guts Guts, ok.} GutsMan said over the speakers. {I'll head….wherever…..}

Glyde kept the shock off his face as GutsMan took off. 'Did he find something?' That would be the best guess from his tone and what he said. Unless it was about his NetOps illegal downloads or underground inter-classroom trading, GutsMan was a terrible liar. "I wish you luck, my friend."

|BEHIND YOU!|

Upon Yai's warning Glyde immediately summoned the first BattleChip she had loaded into him, StepSword, and turned to where the enemy was. His left arm was now a massive energy sword, ready to deal 150 HP worth of damage

"GRRrrrrrrr….."

"Ah, we meet again!" Glyde proclaimed as he activated the second BattleChip, Aura, surrounding himself in a golden, flame-like orb. The Saberruff tilted it's head, slowly approaching him. Glyde responded in kind by moving backwards at the virus's pace.

"GRAAAOOOW"

The virus attacked first! It appeared in front of Glyde with it's maw open. Glyde immediately dismissed his sword for the moment and jammed his fingers into the creature's mouth to keep it open, and then twirled it around and slammed it into the ground mid-twirl before resummoning his sword and stabbing it straight into the virus.

"WHAT?!" Or in this case, the air. The posh Navi thankfully dismissed the sword before it could hit the ground, allowing him to keep it usable. "How on-"

|LEFT!|

Luckily, Yai warned him just in time, allowing him to jump out of the way of a StepSword infused bite. Glyde turned his other arm into a Buster and began charging as the Saberruff warped in front of him again. He kicked it to the side mid-bite, before sending a fully charged Buster shot straight into its stomach!

900HP
-40

The creature got up, raising its hind legs preparing to attack, only to find itself unable to move. "That's not going to work, my friend." Glyde said as he ran towards the virus, sword active. "I'm afraid you're PARALYZED!" He slammed his blade deep into the virus's stomach!

….only to miss again. "DRAT!" And this time he did hit the ground, and since it counted as a hit, the blade was removed from his active memory! 'The mastermind teleported it away!' "GutsMan, be on alert!"


"Got it, Guts!" GutsMan proclaimed as he jetted down the hall via the thruster pack on his back, having listened to Glyde's warning. "Guy must really like the thing to save it like that!"

|I concur.| Glyde typed, using the PETs text to communicate with him, and slapping himself for not doing it sooner. |It must be going after you for whatever reason, stay on guard!|

"Got it GlydeOHBOY"

WOOSH

"Talk later, Guts!" GutsMan exclaimed, barely missing the Saberruff with it's fist as the creature made a rebound towards him. "I'll have to call you back! AURA!" The barrier flared to life around his body as the creature teleported in front of him again. "Bad move Guts! GUTSPUNCH!"

POW!

This time the hit did connect, sending the Saberruff flying and skidding into the ground a good 4 feet away! "MegaMan always fell for that when he was a newb, Guts!" GutsMan exclaimed proudly, his fist returning to its normal size. It was a built in ability, on that didn't require a charge shot, much like most custom Navis sans MegaMan. The cooldown however was too atrocious to use in proper combat.

860HP
-70

The Saberruff was furious. Not only did it not know what type of Aura that was, but these Navis were beyond powerful, and it was obvious that their human operators shared Chips beforehand. Not to mention….

|WHY AREN'T YOU WINNING, BLUBBLUB?!|

Having to deal with that thing's commentary! Blublub here, blubblub there, why wouldn't that idiot SHUT UP?!"

"GUTSMACHINEGUN!" Uh-oh. It needed some BattleChips, now!

|I can't do anything about that, Blub!| The idiot yelled as it struggled to dodge the bullets in the narrow hallway. |I'm using the Warp Gates to teleport you! If I do it now, then that stuffy Navi will detect it! He has access to the log codes!|

Then just disable the Warp Gates when it went in! | BLUBBLUB! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!| IDIOT!

"Out of ammo…" The stupid sounding Navi grumbled as his arm returned to normal. He looked at the hallway, obviously taking in the dimensions of it and the potential durability of the energy shielding. With a growl, it teleported right next to the dumb sounding Navi- "AreaGrab!" Only for him to disappear and reappear right behind it, leaving it to attack nothing as the Navi jetted it's way towards and then into the Warp Gate. "Cya, Guts!"

"GRAAAAAAOAOOOOOOOOW!" Of all the ridiculous- why did that idiot tell it to ambush this idiot here?! There was barely any room!

|WOW You're blubbing useless!|

The Saberruff took a deep breath; that moron only had 500HP and was currently limbless. Three attacks from it could kill him. But he wasn't what it was afraid of, and it was why it had no choice but to listen to him.


ACDC Academy, 24:00

Secret Elevator

|Sorry about that Piruluk, me and Akira were talking about girly things.|

"It's ok." That was the best you could come up with? Still, the fact she was even up was a testament to her stamina and durability. "I've gathered what I needed from this thing's database." She then opened up a text channel to FlashMan, followed by the text to speech program so it could type while she talked.

|And?|

She typed on the console, sending the information to Akira's PET. "There is a fuel depository twelve minutes from my current location." She began. "But I'll have to spend another six minutes dinking around in this thing, pretending to patrol before I can go there without a security check activating. There is an RSS feed for the server we need to go to the depository, and if I can play my cards right, I can use that to get into the server."

|Huh? How?!|

|Disassemble and put her into ZIP files.| Akira said casually. |We've done it plenty of times before. Usually it hurts like hell for a Navi, but Piruluk? It's like she's done it plenty of times!| Piruluk gritted her teeth as she repressed the memories. |I even have a file splitter installed into her in case I need to do it!|

|...Why would you-|

|-Sneak her into buildings for Selector battles, duh.|

|Oh yeah.|

|A lot of adults don't even know what a ZIP file is, or most modern formats! All we gotta do is just activate the decompiler and bam! We get in the server, we stop whoever's behind this, and I can go to bed!|

"Understood. Beginning patrol now."


Ruko looked to Akira with approval. "Sneaky sneaky! That's a lot better than what I usually do!"

"Huh?"

" I just put Tama on mute and put my PET in my bra, wear some baggy clothing and just do it." She frowned, not seeing Akira's blush. "Still, that does raise a question-"

"-I already told you, I don't know how she got the cloa-"Ruko waved her off. Yeah..that was a topic for later. For now… "Sooooo...why do you keep Tama in your bra?"

The ginger flinched from the glare. "Not what you think, so don't even dare assume it. She just wouldn't shut up about 'boobieland boobieland!" She said the last part in a mockery of Tama's voice, followed by a sigh. "It's not important. What is important is the disassembling thing. Did you uhh…."

"Hell no!" Akira shouted. "I sat through that fucked up 'Navi Safety' video back in 3rd grade, and threw up like everyone else! I know what happens when you use a disassembler on a Navi without prep! Hell, I don't even want to know how a freaking LRIG gets used to that!"

"...Me neither." And she -regretfully- knew how LRIGS were made! What the hell did Piruluk go through in either of her lives to be so ok with that?


|You're joking, P1.|

|Did my tone indicate I was joking FlashMan? Our boss implements such ridiculous security gimmicks as well.|

|At least he gives us back doors so we don't have to go through this BS!|

|Well too bad. I'll use the RSS feed to connect to the school's main network. Then once I'm being disassembled, you'll use your admin privileges to warp into the elevator network and into the main server where the TetraCode is located. Once MegaMan and his friends get here, and let's be honest, it's BubbleMan that's keeping them there, he's going to fuck this up even with the Border Concern virus, it will be three on three. Me in my LRIG form, the other LRIG, and you. By the time BubbleMan screws everything up, you should be able to set up the TetraCode Transfer Protocol.|

|Understood. Have fun with your carnival ride. FlashMan out.|

Piruluk finished typing on the console. "Command input complete." She lied as a very obnoxious voice came over the intercom. "...Let's get this over with."

{HIYA, MY SEXAH PROG!} Oh god no. Hearing her Selector snort, she quickly muted the connection to the PET. {ARE YOU READY TO GO ON PATROL, PAL O' MINE?} Good lord, she could hear the voice orgasm with each word!

"..." Oh there was J-pop playi- "Is that country?" Did someone seriously mix J-pop with fucking country? With a snarl, she looked to the corpse that was still in here with contempt " .You."

{Let's get ready to patrol!}

This security gimmick was simple; follow the dotted lines appearing on the saucer's internal screens. Said dots indicated the patrol route Piruluk had to follow, and she had to do it exactly. It must be done by Navi hands, and any interference from a non registered PET would get every other drone on her. The problem?...she had no idea how to actually drive this thing. Knowing what to do, and putting it into action, were two very different things.

"Here I go." At least she had a punching bag for when she inevitably failed. God she felt like Akira right now. "Speed set, control sensitivity preset-" Annoying porn music still in her front of her were two patrol paths. One path led underneath a bridge where a security checkpoint with two saucers was awaiting. How they never saw her or the fight she just had given their proximity, she didn't want to know, and she didn't want to find out. The second path was a roller coaster ride in terms of complexity. It looped through five different buildings, with six of them having jpegs indicating the angle the saucer was supposed to take. She pressed the help icon, which meant unfortunately….

{Need help sexah?} She had to listen to that. {Does my big strong man need something soft and wet to help him?}

"...That is a thing I need."

{Oh I can't hear you, big boy.} Piruluk's eyes widened; please tell her she didn't have to-! {Why don't you stop whispering and speak normally?}

Ughhhh…."I NEED HELP! I-"

{OOOoOoooooh, such a strong command!} DAMN IT! How lonely was this stupid Prog?! {Tell me what you need, and be forceful!}

"ROUTE EXPLORATION PLEASE!"

{Huhuhuhuhu, with pleasure.} And thus the annoying voice began to explain everything she needed to know, which in this case was debunking a few fears she had, specifically that she didn't have to do all that complicated loop-de-loop crap, it was just something the dead idiot did because he was bored.

{Ha….Ha….did I make you-}

"YES. YOU DID. GO AWAY." She quickly cut the connection, face red with humiliation. She punched the frozen .

PET CONNECTION UNMUTED. Great. |Piruluk, what the fuck?!| Akira shouted. |Well whatever! I can see the map on my…| Her voice trailed off, Piruluk able to hear her say 'Is that porn music?' to Ruko, before coming back on. |W-whatever! I can see what you're doing on my PET! It's an overhead view of the area since this thing's a piece of shit, but I can guide you!|

"Akira-"

|I got a warning on my PET about trying to help, don't worry. I want out of here as you do, so let's just cut the back and forth, alright?|

"Right." She couldn't wait to get this night over with.


ACDC GateWay Network, 24:20
GateNet#1

All ROUTES ARE SET TO BLUE. ACCESS TO GATENET2 NOW OPEN.

"Whew!" Glyde was exhausted! That took way too long! "Good job finding that switch underneath the vending machine, Master Dex!"

|I...bent down….so much….|

|Don't worry buddy, I gotcha.| Lan said consolingly. |How's their BattleChip loadout Yai?|

|Loaded five to their active memory 10 minutes ago! Good thing too, because GutsMan needs some good defensive chips!|

"What?!" Glyde moved to help GutsMan, but was physically stopped. "M-Mistress Yai!" Assuming direct control?!

|You and Lan help with the boss.| She handed his PET over the the boy in question. |Me and GutsMan are going to delete that stupid Spiky knockoff.|

Glyde sighed. "Understood."


ACDC GateWay Network, 24:20
GateNet#3

It seemed GateNet1 was nothing more than a basic hub, an area made with the least amount of resources so that the other, more memory intense areas it connects to could load and run properly.

Stepping off the Warp Gate, GutsMan found himself in an exact copy of ACDC park, albeit upscaled by three times, with everything on big, monster truck size slopes, even the trees. "Ooooooh!" He always wanted to get here! This was where the City Stunt Rally was held every year! His excitement faded however, and he quickly got off the Warp Gate and aimed his Buster at it as the SaberRuff warped in and sent a fireball his way.

"GUARD2, Guts!" The Saberruff masterfully sidestepped out of the way of the redirect, inches away from the shield that formed. "Darn it!" He still had the shield for at least one successful counter or one more miss, so he had some defensive options; probably would have a lot more if his Aura didn't get broken. "Custom Screen active, Guts!" GutsMan exclaimed as the virus began to slowly circle him, GutsMan keeping pace, with his free hand turned into a Buster. "Please tell me you got another Aura Chip!"

|Nope!| Stupid 3 copy rule! Yai tensed as the Saberruff charged again. |Dex, which of his attacks have the least cooldown?!|

|GutsJet!|

"Right! AreaSteal!" With his 2nd out of three, he reappeared behind the Saberruff hunched over, the virus missing it's mark as GutsMan jumped back and activated the jet boosters on his back, sending the beast into the ground. Turning around mid boost, he grabbed the virus by the tuff of it's spiky hair, and once his feet hit the ground, he activated his GutsJet again, sending it into cooldown mode. Before the virus could do anything, GutsMan, with it in tow, bent forward at a downward angle, and sent it flying into the air! "HIGHCANNON!" His hand morphed into a blue firearm, the second variant of the Cannon BattleChip. He took aim, pulled the internal trigger aaannd-

BLAM

790HP
-60

Sent the thing flying a good twelve feet in the air! By the time it landed, GutsMan had closed the distance, pelting the creature with Buster fire as he did so. The virus lost an additional 20 HP from the assault before it regained it's second wind and rolled out of the way, shooting a fireball at his foot to get him off it's back. As GutsMan landed, the virus shot out a ball of smoke that exploded, obscuring it's enemy's vision and allowing it to get away.

|What are you doing, Blublub?!| Getting away! |GET BACK OUT THERE!| It ignored the idiot and climbed up the smallest slope it could find and hid in the woods. |I'M THE BOSS HERE BLUB, LISTEN TO ME!|

GutsMan used his thrusters to climb up the slope and landed with a loud thud into the sand to kick up dust. He opened his Custom Screen and selected four Chips before closing it out. 'Finally!' He'd save that one for later. "Time for some super Guts firepower!"

PROGRAM ADVANCE
SHOCKWAVE C + SONICWAVE C + DYNAWAVE C = SIGMAWAVE

RUUUUMBBLE

The Virus growled; what now?! The ground shook violently, it's canine senses not keeping pace with the constantly vibrating terrain, but it kept it's wits long enough to avoid a shockwave.

POW!

But not the second one.

730HP
-80

"GutsMachineGun!" Or that.

POW! POW! POW!

-30

|STUPID MUTT! Get back here blubblub!|

ACTIVATING NETWORK INTRUDER EJECTION PROGRAM.

"Uh-oh!" GutsMan quickly shot out the rest of the waves before the Program Advance expired, mixing it in with his Buster Shots, though sadly none of the remaining waves hit the virus. By the time it expired, there were deep, wide cuts of varying lengths on the hill. Trees were uprooted or sliced through, and there was dust and debris everywhere. Which means he didn't see the Saberruff limp it's way to safety via the Warp Gate. "Aww where did he go, Guts?"


ACDC GateWay Network, 24:34
GateNet#4

"This is bad blub, this is bad blub!" The Saberruff watched it's master panic, clearly not having thought this through. He didn't even know how to activate the Ejection Program, just it's sound file! "We need to get out of here, now!" BubbleMan paused. "But Lord Wily said not to kill the kids or anyone...maybe break their limbs blub?" He grinned; that could work! "I just got an idea, blublublub!" He ran towards the terminal and sat down, ready to give the marching orders to the animals, when the Saberruff barked out it's frustration. BubbleMan sighed and turned around, using his legs to do so. "Yeahyeah," Six recovery BattleChips suddenly appeared in front of the virus, which it gladly ate as they restored it to health. "There, now leave me alone blub!" He turned back around, his lips coming off his mouth and landing on the keyboard so they could type, given the current situation with his hands.

"Bark!"

"GRRRR!" BubbleMan's mouthless body turned around. "What?!" His lips shouted as they typed. "I gave you everything you needed, Blublub! What now!" The Saberruff stepped off the gate and barked at him dully, reminding him of the reason that the idiot Navi didn't want to send it help originally. "...Oh no." His lips snapped back onto his face and he got out of the chair. "How could I forget, blub?!" The Saberruff shook it's head as the posh Navi came out with his hands on his hips.

"Hello Gentleman." His eyes turned from the snarling virus to the Navi. "...And I see."

"HUH?!" The Navi in question jumped back. "H-how did you know who I was?!"

"Everyone in the business sector knows who you are, you nimrod. The Navi who keeps trying to DDOS the entire BubbleWash Inc server because they 'stole your gimmick' as it were. Honestly childish!"

"Y-yeah that's right!" Oh thank god he didn't find out! He'd probably be given to Lady Urith if that was the case! "And I'm running this operation, Blub! Me and my buddies have complete control of this city, and the lives of your NetOps, blublub! If you mess with the bubble, you're gonna get popped!"

Both Glyde and Saberruff stared at each other, the former feeling pity over who the latter had to serve. "Regardless, you have a deletion order issued by SciLab."

"Hah!" BubbleMan laughed as the Saberruff got into attack position. "You think you can take me Blub! I read your file! You can use as many Program Advances as you want, but your fighting capabilities suck! You're a D-Grade Navi with A-rank capabilities, completely incompatible, blublublub!"

"Indeed." Gylde responded as he took a look around the room. "Sadly for you, you've chosen the worst venue for this fight!"

"Uh-huh." Suddenly a bubble appeared over the terminal. "Now that that's safe…" The big lipped Navi grinned, and his right hand in his left ear snapped it's finger. Suddenly the room was flooded, Glyde suddenly finding himself lifted up the buoyancy while the Saberruff ignored the physics. "Now who chose poorly, blublub!"

"..." The half lidded gaze the posh Navi gave was enough to tell the virus to hightail it out via the Warp Gate. which it did. Glyde ignored it, having more important things to do. All Glyde did was open his Custom Window, and select only four Chips before closing it. First he selected Aura, causing BubbleMan to gulp.

'Shoot! I don't have any 300HP attacks!' But that wasn't the end of it, as he forgot one important thing: his opponent might have Elec-Type Chips, which Glyde did, his hand turning into a magnet that pulled BubbleMan forward. "NO, MERCY BLUB!" But he wouldn't get any mercy.

PROGRAM ADVANCE
MAGBOLT1 E + MAGBOLT1 F + MAGBOLT1 G = MAGSHOCK1

"Blub-oh."

BZZZZT!

"BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUB!" God this was bad! The shock only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to vaporize the water and send the Aqua-Type Navi down to 100
HP!

500HP
-400 DUE TO ELEMENTAL WEAKNESS

"Y-you win, loser…" Yeaaahh, it was time to get out of here. With a chuckle, he soon logged out., leaving Glyde with a major problem: popping that bubble. It didn't pop from the Program Advance, so it must require special data to interact with it.

"GutsMan, get back here this instant, we have a situation!"

|You're telling me Guts!| The brutish Navi typed. |That stupid virus got all it's strength back!|

"Curses…" It was fast, it was intelligent, it was powerful. Damn Border Concern and their accursed tech. "I'll be right there!" That was a problem for later; the virus was now. "I now have access to the main server room Master Dex. you can operate GutsMan now!"

|FINALLY!


BOOOOM

"FINALLY!" GutsMan shouted, grabbing the virus out of the air and slamming it into the ground face-first before it could blast him. "The dream-team is back!"

|You know it!|

The Saberruff's back paw kicked GutsMan in the lower jaw, with enough force to cause the Navi to stumble back, allowing it to flip back upright and send a fireball back his way. It ran around him, aiming for the pack on his back. "Not gonna work, Guts! RockCube!"

WHAM!

The virus ran headfirst into a cube made of grey stone, losing 20HP in the process and allowing GutsMan to get the upper hand. "GutsPunch!"

SLAM!

"GYAOOOOOOH!"

600HP
-70

The virus coughed up a smokescreen; this was getting it nowhere, and it's idiot of a master ditched it with two Navis capable of wielding Program Advances without any problems. And withotu the idiot around, these Navis could Jack out and back in to restore their HP, making this fight go on forever. This was a total wash, and far outside it's capabilities! It needed a way out of here, and it had the perfect idea…
