[Talking from the PET]

Chapter 2: Restoration and Dethroning a Tyrant

As they traveled through the cyberspace with Rush leading them towards their destination, Naruto and the gang looked around their surroundings in awe as well as disapproval of the place.

"Something tells me that the SciLab's cyberspace isn't supposed to look like this in the first place," said Naruto.

"Indeed it isn't Naruto, the cyberspace has been changed due to Pharaohman's influence. I speculate that defeating him will revert it back to normal," said Dr. Hikari.

"Yeah but first things first, we need to bring Megaman back," said Lan.

"No worries Lan, I did promise to help you get your buddy back," said Naruto.

"Thanks Naruto," Naruto simply gave him a foxlike grin.

"Hey! Don't forget that we're helping too," said Yai.

"Sorry about that Yai," said Lan sheepishly.

The group continued across the many sand dunes when suddenly something burst out from underneath the sands before diving back in. Naruto caught a glimpse and saw that it was fishlike in appearance with blue scales and fins, and swung its arms in a propeller-like fashion. There happened to be a group of them as they opened their mouths wide and tri-pronged arrows shot out towards them.

"Guys heads up!" Naruto dashed to position in front of them before drawing out his chakra blade, then he used it to deflect the incoming projectiles away from the group before the viruses dove back into the sand.

"Thanks for the help Naruto, those guys are piranha viruses and they can be pretty annoying," said Iceman.

"I can tell, we need to get them out of the sand before we can filet them," said Naruto, sheathing the blade although he noticed that it was glowing a bit.

"Don't worry guys, I got this. Guts Hammer battle chip in, download!" Dex slotted a chip into his PET.

"Guts Guuts!" Gutsman's hand glowed blue before morphing into a hammer, he raised it into the air before bringing it down to slam on the ground which discharged a shockwave powerful enough to flush out the piranha viruses and knock them into the air.

"Now's our chance, Glyde Cannon!" Glyde's hand transformed into an arm cannon and proceeded to shot at the virus.

"Use this Naruto! Shotgun battle chip in, download!" Lan quickly inserted a battle chip into the slot of the PET, then Naruto's arm morphed into an cannon which he took aim at his targets and opened fire, making their mark and successfully deleting the viruses "Awesome teamwork guys,"

"Thank you for the compliment," said Glyde.

"You too," said Gutsman.

"That was great, but you've got to keep moving. The longer you're there, the worst the attacks will be," said Dr. Hikari.

"Okay Hikari-san, we'll get moving then," said Naruto.

With that said, the group continued through the desert without any further encounters with viruses. Suddenly a voice spoke to Naruto from out of nowhere to his surprise and it seems like the others didn't hear it.

"Even when you're in another dimension, you still manage to get yourself in crazy situations," said the voice.

"W-who said that?" thought Naruto while looking around.

"Who else do you think this is kit?"

"Kurama is that you? How are you able to talk to me like this?"

"I was able to slightly tweak the seal which will allow me to talk to you without me needing to bring you into the mindscape," said Kurama.

"Sounds pretty convenient, guess that means you know what's going on then,"

"Yeah, this Pharaohman reminds me of those self-centered humans who think that the world revolves around them. Also I've noticed something else, it's about your chakra blade,"

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed that it glows whenever I use it,"

"I have reason to believe that you can channel your chakra into the blade to make it longer and sharper, and I also noticed that it absorbs a small amount of your chakra and stores it away,"

"Is it something harmful?" asked Naruto.

"I doubt it since the blade was created for you when you arrived in this dimension like the rest of your gear,"

"Got it, we'll figure it out as we move on," Naruto snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Iceman speak out.

"Hey guys, what's that heading this way?" asked Iceman.

They all looked ahead to see large tornadoes of sand moving straight towards them.

"It's a sandstorm, and a rather big one. But where could it have come from?" said Roll confusedly.

"I don't know but brace yourselves!" shouted Naruto.

Everyone laid on the ground and prepared to endure the incoming storm as the violent winds carrying clouds of dust or sand passed through them.

"This is quite the predicament, we can barely do a thing with this sandstorm in the way," said Glyde.

"But there has to be something we can do, I can't help but feel helpless here," said Roll, suddenly Rush squirmed out of her grip and took a few steps forward "Rush where are you going?"

A black hole appeared before Rush and then a Mettaur popped out of it much to their surprise since it didn't attack them immediately.

"How is he able to do that?" said Iceman confusedly.

"They must understand each other," said Glyde.

"That must be Rush's friend if it didn't attack us like the other viruses," said Naruto.

"Gutsman confused," said Gutsman.

"It looks like our canine friend here has a plan," said Roll, Rush barked in affirmation before jumping into the hole with the Mettaur as it closed up.

Another hole opened up elsewhere for Rush to jump out of, then he found himself standing behind a group of viruses. They resembled large red industrial fans on four legs with wing-like fins, and have odd switch mechanisms jutting from their backs. These viruses are known as Fanners, and they're currently ones being the cause of the sandstorm as the fans are spinning at high speed.

Rush barked a few times and Mettaur started to pop out of the hole one after the other before positioning themselves behind the Fanners, Rush barked once more as if commanding to attack with the Mettaur bringing their pickaxes down on the ground to create shockwaves that raced towards the Fanners which took them down. Without them producing the violent winds, the sandstorm dissipated much to the relief of Naruto and the others with Rush running towards them after sending away his virus friends.

"Thanks for the help buddy," said Naruto.

"Good boy Rush, you were amazing," said Roll.

"Hey Naruto, can you hear me?" asked Lan.

"Yeah what's up?" asked Naruto.

"We had lost communication with you when that sandstorm hit, now that it's gone the communication is back online," said Dr. Hikari.

"We have Rush to thank for dealing with our weather problem so we're good to go," said Naruto.

"That's good, cause you still have a long way to go,"

Then the group resumed their journey until stopping before some sort of ancient ruins where they saw a staircase which led downwards. They descended down the stairs as it led them deeper inside until entering an underground passage.

"I think that this might be it," said Glyde, he was correct with that statement as they stopped before a metallic door with Rush barking at them.

"Hikari-san, have we come to the right place?" asked Naruto.

"Yes Megaman's frame is right behind that door," said Dr. Hikari, everyone let out a cheer upon hearing that.

"In that case, I'll run a scan and decode the password," Glyde walked up to a control panel next to the door and tapped the keypad a few times "That's quite strange, it is a one digit passcode," he pressed a button and the doors slid open with a bright light temporarily blinding them as they entered.

Inside, Naruto and the others heard Rush barking and turned to see the puppy standing in front of a large glass capsule where blue blocks of data moved around inside of it.

"I'm guessing that's the frame," said Lan.

"Yes and it seems to be in good condition, now's the time to reinstall Megaman's data. But first we'll have to sever the link between Naruto and your PET," said Dr. Hikari.

"Well Naruto, it was fun while it lasted," said Lan.

"Yeah, maybe next time," said Naruto.

"Actually, Naruto reminded me of a certain project which we worked on a year in SciLabs but was put on suspension due to certain issues but with Naruto's unique status, I'm sure that he can utilize it to its full potential," said Dr. Hikari.

"What's the project about dad?" asked Lan curiously.

"We can talk about it later, after all this is over," Dr. Hikari pressed a few buttons on Lan's PET before a beep is heard, then he pulled out the plug as Naruto remained where he is without returning to the PET "There, it's been done. Now you can jack-in with Megaman now,"

"Okay dad, jack in Megaman, power up!" Lan plugged in his PET once again with the emblem disappearing as it's being transferred into the frame.

"That's good, now all we have to do is wait for the frame blocks to reconfigure,"

Everyone watched as the blue blocks shifted and merged together before slowly taking on a humanoid shape and becoming clearer in detail until finally showing a form familiar to Lan and the others but new to Naruto.

"So this guy is Megaman," said Naruto as he marveled at the restored NetNavi.

He wears an indigo bodysuit with cyan stripes running down his sides and ending at his blue boots which are tipped with black soles. He has two yellow shoulders guards and wears a blue helmet with two ridges running along the top before coming to a stop at the base. Naruto speculated that he has dark hair which is sticking out in four spikes, however he took note that the emblems are completely blacked out.

"It seems like he's sleeping, hey Megaman! Wake up!" Lan called out but received no response.

"Megaman's frame is quite complex, it has to defragment itself before becoming fully operational," said Dr. Hikari.

"But how long is that going to take?" asked Dex.

"I'm not sure but we're just going to have to give him some time,"

"Time which I'm sure we don't have, I get the feeling that Pharaohman knows we're here," said Naruto.

"Gutsman feels nervous when you say that now," said Gutsman.

Suddenly the room began to quake and the glass on the capsule had cracks on it while everyone tried to keep their balance.

"What on earth is that?" said Iceman worriedly.

"Kit, I sense a powerful source heading this way," said Kurama.

Then they heard dark chuckling and looked to see a hologram of someone resembling an Egyptian sarcophagus with wings on his back and his arms crossed.

"That's Pharaohman!" said Lan.

"So this guy is the source of all this trouble," said Naruto, his hand inching towards his chakra blade.

"You fools actually thought that you sneak into my kingdom to rescue this pathetic NetNavi, I might as well show you the futility of challenging me. Grovel before the supremacy of Pharaohman!" said the evil solo NetNavi.

The quaking got worse and the room suddenly transformed into an underground cave, the glass capsule tipped over and crashed leaving Megaman prone on the ground.

"Oh no, Megaman!" said Lan worriedly.

Things got worse as a long crack formed between them and broke open to reveal a ravine where one can't even see the bottom. Roll was about to move towards Megaman when Gutsman grabbed her by the arm to hold her back.

"Roll stop!" said Gutsman.

"But I have to help him!" Roll protested.

"No Roll will get hurt, Gutsman can't let that happen!"

Naruto stepped forward "I'll get him, we've come too far just to back down now," He quickly dashed forward and once he got to the edge, he pumped chakra to his feet to boost his leap across the ravine and managed to land on the other side. Naruto ran over to Megaman and carried him over his shoulder.

"Naruto hurry, the place is going to collapse any minute from now!" shouted Glyde.

"Hang on, I'm coming!" Naruto took a few steps back before running forward and taking another leap to the other side, he was halfway through the jump when he heard Roll call out to him in alarm.

"Naruto watch out, above you!" she yelled.

Naruto sharply looked up only to see a large boulder falling from above before it crashed into them, plummeting them into the dark abyss below much to the others horror.

"Naruto, Megaman!" Roll called out in despair, unaware that another boulder was falling towards her.

"Roll get out of the way!" Gutsman rushed forward and caught the boulder but could barely hold it up.

"Gutsman, what are you doing?!"

"Glyde, Iceman…get Roll out of here…can't hold rock back…much longer!" said Gutsman.

"We've got to get out of here!" Iceman grabbed Roll's arm and pulled her away despite protest.

"But we can't leave him here!" said Roll.

"You have to go…Gutsman done anyway…goodbye Roll…sorry Dex," Gutsman finally gave in to the weight of the boulder and got crushed underneath in blue pixels.

"Gutsman noooo!" yelled Dex amidst tears.

"Megaman! Naruto, can you hear us?! Please respond!" Lan called out through his PET and received nothing but static.

"First Megaman, then Naruto and now Gutsman? This isn't fair!" said Yai sadly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! All shall fall before the might of the ultimate NetNavi!" Pharaohman laughed out loud before the hologram faded away.

Roll, Glyde and Iceman ran through the tunnel and back up the staircase before finally making it back to the surface before turning around to look back and remember what had just happened.

"We came all this way only to lose two more of our friends…this bites much more than a frostbite," Iceman spoke sadly.

"It appears that your rescue mission has failed," everyone turned in anger to the source of the voice and saw a slight distortion in the atmosphere before it cleared to reveal Pharaohman "Now bow before me,"

"We're not bowing to anyone! Especially you!" Roll yelled angrily.

"You fools, for defying the power of Pharaohman, you shall share the same fate of your fallen comrades," said Pharaohman, he sensed something moving towards him at high-speed and willed an obelisk to rise from underground as it blocked the projectile which exploded upon impact "Now who dares to invade my sacred ground?"

"That would be us," Everyone turned to look up the top of a tall hill, Roll and others instantly recognized who they are.

The first is a humanoid NetNavi bearing chest armor, armguards and boots which are all colored orange, his faceguard protrude forwards away from the face and the helmet bearing a thick ridge from the top all the way to the base. What is mostly noted would be the black spherical shaped bombs with lit fuses attached to the shoulders and the emblem on his chest depicts an explosion.

The second NetNavi appears to be some sort of rock golem with most of his body detached, the cylindrical arms float near each side of the rectangular shaped body and the feet in the shape of ellipses position underneath both of them and his emblem depicts a white cube.

The most surprising thing is that both NetNavis each have a multitude of clones by their side.

"It's Bombman and Stoneman!" said Iceman in surprise.

"I wish to extend my congrats, cause you're going to be Dr. Wily's ultimate NetNavi," said Bombman.

"How dare you! I am ruled by no one!" said Pharaohman angrily.

"Well my friends and I say that you're wrong, oh great one,"

"Then you and your friends shall pay the ultimate price,"


Meanwhile Naruto and Megaman are currently falling down a pit and are yet to reach the bottom of the abyss.

"And here I thought that I would never have to experience this again, ever since Pervy Sage threw me off the cliff the first time!" shouted Naruto.

"And this time there are no toads for you to summon so you better think of something fast kit!" said Kurama.

"I know, I'm making it up as I go!" Naruto thought quickly, then he grabbed Megaman in one arm and took out the chakra blade. He channeled chakra to the blade and the soles of his sandals. He angled himself towards one of the walls before stabbing the blade and digging his feet onto the walls. Sparks flew from the blade and Naruto struggled to maintain his grips on both Megaman and the blade as the speed of the descent was slightly reduced.

"I hope I don't tear my arm out from this," Naruto grunted out as they slid down in at much more comfortable speeds.

"You better hold for a little while longer, we'll be sure to arrive at the bottom soon," said Kurama to which Naruto simply grunted in affirmation.

Sure enough, they finally reached the bottom of the hole as Naruto dropped out of it and landed on a rock ledge before setting Megaman down and massaged his mildly sore arm.

"Now that we finally reach the bottom, we need to figure out a way to get back to the surface and meet up with the others…it feels like an over in here," Naruto looked around and his eyes widened in surprise upon what his surroundings comprised of. At this moment, Naruto and Megaman are on a ledge with rivers of hot lava flowing below "I think we literally fell out of the frying pan and into the fire,"

"If you're done making witty comments, you better get off the ledge before you both fall into the lava and get cooked which includes me!" said Kurama.

"I know that, we all want to stay alive!" Naruto picked up Megaman and leapt off the ledge right before it collapsed and fell into the lava, melting from the intense heat.


Back with Roll and her friends, they watched with apprehension as the clones of Bombman and Stoneman had them along with Pharaohman completely surrounded with their attacks at the ready. Elsewhere in hidden base, an old man watches everything on a holographic screen with eyes of greed and smiled evilly. This man is none other than Dr. Wily who is the leader of WWW, an evil crime syndicate set on taking over the world through the internet.

"This is perfect! Not only will I soon be the master of the ultimate NetNavi but I can also get rid of those pesky NetNavis. You may now attack," said Dr. Wily evilly.

"Attack!" Bombman and Stoneman shouted at the same time.

"Guys, get them out of there!" said Lan.

"Area Steal battle chip in, download!" Maylu, Yai and Tori inserted the chips in simultaneously.

The three NetNavis warped out of the way right as the Bombman copies fired missiles and the Stoneman copies launched laser beams at Pharaohman who would have smirked if he had a mouth.

"You fools dare to believe that you could defeat me?" said Pharaohman, the incoming attacks landed on their target which resulted in a massive explosion.

"The bigger they are, the harder they fall," said Bombman.

"That doesn't look good," said Iceman.

Roll and the others watched from a safe distance in surprise at what had just happened.

"I doubt that even Pharaohman would have survived an attack of that magnitude," said Glyde.

The smoke from the explosion cleared only to reveal Pharaohman encased in a blue barrier without so much as a scratch on him and laughing darkly much to the shock of everyone watching.

"How invigorating, now I will teach you the true meaning of supreme power!" a small ball of yellow light appeared of Pharaohman before firing a laser beam which spun around in a full 360 degrees. Bombman and Stoneman quickly moved out of the way but their copies weren't lucky as they all got deleted from the attack "Bow before me you pathetic weaklings,"

"Won't this guy go down?!" said Stoneman fearfully.

"I'm out of here!" said Bombman, both NetNavis immediately logged out of there.

"Everyone, you need to get out of there now!" said Dr. Hikari.

Roll and the others complied as they ran across the desert and away from Pharaohman, but then something burst out of the sand in front of them and it was revealed to be a gray sarcophagus.

"Now what is he up too?" said Roll.

Suddenly the eyes of the statue flashed brightly, turning Glyde into a stone statue.

"I give you eternal life as a statue," said Pharaohman darkly.

"Oh no, Glyde!" said Iceman.

"Hurry out of there!" Maylu called out, but she was too late with her warning as the sarcophagus flashed once more turning them into stone statues.

"Our NetNavis…" Yai spoke sadly with the others feeling the same way.

"If only Megaman were here, I'm sure that even Naruto is still alive to help us like he promised," said Lan.

"Hold on…I'm getting reading that there are three Navis on the Net and they're heading for the SciLabs security system," said Dr. Hikari.

"But why there?" asked Lan.

"I think I know what they're up to, I can guess that they seek to access the SciLabs main computer and shut down which will in turn stop Pharaohman in his tracks,"

"I get it now, and it might be just the thing to help bring Megaman and Naruto back,"

"Then let's lend them a helping hand," Dr. Hikari tapped rapidly on the keyboard in order to put up a communication line to the three unknown Navis.


Naruto was currently running along the cliff walls with chakra emitting from his soles before jumping off and landing on another ledge and frantically looked around.

"What was that all about? One moment everything went black before going back to normal?" said Naruto confusedly.

"I don't know kid, but haven't you found a way out yet?" asked Kurama.

"So far my best idea is to use the Rasengan to burrow our way back up to the surface," said Naruto.

"Then hurry, as of now we don't know what's going on and need to find out what happened,"

Naruto landed on a much more stable ledge and was about to put Megaman down before creating some shadow clones for his next plan of action when there was a sudden rumbling coming from the cave's ceiling, then a red spinning tornado burst through and landed on a ledge nearby before dissipating to reveal a NetNavi.

This NetNavi dons red chest armor, gloves, and boots. He wears a stylized helmet with a black visor, a white faceguard, and a white circle surrounding a horn protruding from the top while long silver hair reaching the waist flows out from the base of the helmet. The NetNavi's emblem depicts a circle split with a thunderbolt pattern into two black and white sections which can be seen on his chest and gloves.

"Who are you?" asked Naruto feeling a bit tense.

"The name's Protoman," said the red Navi.

Naruto's eyed widened in recognition "Protoman? You must be the Navi who went up against Megaman in the N1 Grand Prix and he sacrificed himself to save you,"

Protoman nodded in affirmation "Yeah I owe him, if it weren't for the kid I wouldn't be here. Which brings me to ask who are you?"

"The name's Naruto Uzumaki but let's save the rest for later and focus on getting out of here,"

"Okay then this way," Protoman crossed his arms and started spinning quickly to form the red tornado again before rising towards the ceiling ad drilling through, Naruto carrying Megaman leapt through the hole after him as they ascended until finally reaching the surface.

"Good one Protoman, but can you tell what's going on since I fell down the pit?"

"A few minutes ago, Dr. Hikari and a trio of NetNavis had shut down the power of the SciLabs main computer. They succeeded but Pharaohman managed to start it back up and now he commandeered a SciLabs satellite and set it on a crash course towards which could possibly killed hundreds of civilians and we only have ten minutes before impact,"

"That Navi has definitely gone mad with power…just like Uchiha Madara," Kurama growled angrily at the memory.

"Then we need to take him down quickly," said Naruto.

"Protoman…and the unknown NetNavi," Naruto and Protoman traced Pharaohman's voice to a black pyramid just a short distance away.

"As much as I don't want to leave Megaman behind, we have no time to lose!" Naruto drew out his chakra blade.

"Let's go you two, long sword battle chip in, download!" a boy's voice rang out before Protoman's right arm morphed into a sword hilt with a glowing red blade.

Both looked at each other and nodded at the same time before dashing towards the pyramid, an army of viruses being Piranhas, Flappies, Handies and Megalians appeared and charged at them.

"Get out of our way, Cyber Shuriken!" Naruto conjured a handful of the throwing stars and flung them at the viruses deleting them while Protoman weaved in and out of the way and slashing the rest into pixels with Naruto soon joining in with his chakra blade which was glowing even brighter than before. Naruto flipped into the air and as if driven by instinct actually threw the chakra blade which cut through more of the viruses before returning to him like a boomerang as he caught it by the handle.

"Whoa that was pretty cool, never thought it could do that," Naruto murmured, looking at the blade in awe.

"Don't get distracted kit, we're running against the clock here!" said Kurama.

"Oh right, sorry about that,"

The duo dashed up a long flight of stairs all the while deleting any viruses that stood in their until reaching the top where they ran through a hallway before entering what seems to be a throne room cause they're seeing Pharaohman standing on a slightly raised platform at the center of the room.

"Well done, there's something very special about the two of you…especially you," said Pharaohman looking at Naruto "I can sense immense power within you,"

"I know where you're going with this so let me just tell you that there's no way that I'll be joining you in your crazy ambitions," said Naruto.

"The same could be said for me," said Protoman.

"Why throw away such a golden opportunity and face me when you know that I could so easily defeat you," said Pharaohman.

Music Start: Megaman Battle Network OST; Net Battle

"You'll never know unless you try, Cyber Kunai!" Naruto conjured a handful of said weapons and threw them at Pharaohman.

"Pathetic," Pharaohman's eyes glowed for a moment then the kunai froze in midair before turning around and shot back at Naruto and Protoman much to their surprise before deflecting with a kunai and long sword respectively.

Protoman dashed forward and swung his sword at Pharaohman, but it seems like it impacted on some sort of invisible barrier before being blown back and crashing on the ground with a pained grunt.

"Look, it's Protoman and Naruto!" said Maylu as she and the others watched from the monitors.

"And they're taking on Pharaohman!" said Tori.

"We all know how strong Protoman is, but I'm worried about Naruto since he's no longer connected to my PET so I can't send any battle chips to him," said Lan.

Naruto ran in as he crossed his middle and index fingers and called out "Shadow Clone jutsu!" there were several puffs of smoke before it cleared away to reveal a squad of clones who ran alongside the original. The first two clones pulled ahead of the others while creating kunai in each hand and lashed out at Pharaohman, another pair of clones leapt high into the air and flung a barrage of shuriken.

"Be gone you annoying insects," Pharaohman unleashed a yellow shockwave that impacted with the clones and sent them crashing into walls before disappearing in puffs of smoke "None of your petty attacks can touch me,"

"Fire Sword battle chip in, download!" the unknown boy slotted a chip into his PET, Protoman's blade changed into an orange one and heat could be felt radiating from it.

Protoman dashed forward once more and slashed at Pharaohman only to hit another barrier, he refused to back down by repeatedly slashing the barrier but was unable to leave so much as a scratch on it "Dammit, I can't break through it!"

"One side Protoman, I'm coming in!" Protoman turned around and saw Naruto along with a clone running towards them. The thing is that Naruto appears to be holding a blue spinning ball in the palm if his hand while the clone wove its hands around it, Protoman was momentarily stunned at the sight but complied nonetheless as he leapt to the side right as Naruto drew close "Let's see your barrier block this, Rasengan!" the clone disappeared into a puff of smoke as he thrust the spinning sphere forward and made contact with the barrier. At first nothing happened but Pharaohman's eyes widened upon seeing cracks appearing with Naruto pushing harder to break.

"Whoa that small ball is actually breaking through Pharaohman's barrier, they should be able win this!" said Dex.

"Maybe so but they only have five minutes until the satellite crashes into DenTech city," said Dr. Hikari.

"Protoman, get ready to attack once he breaks through the barrier!" said the boy.

"Got it!" said Protoman in affirmation.

More cracks had appeared on the barrier with Naruto almost breaking through when Pharaohman glared at him before thrusting his arms forward to unleash another shockwave, knocking Naruto back away from as he recovered in midair and skidded backwards before stopping next to Protoman.

"You worms shall see how weak you are compared to me!" said Pharaohman, then his eyes glowed bit before beams shot out towards them. Naruto and Protoman dodged left and right to avoid the beams as they destroyed the pillars and walls around them. Suddenly Pharaohman sensed something moving towards him from behind and emitted a pulse of energy to deflect it, it turns out to be the chakra blade which ricocheted from the impacted and was sent flying back to Naruto who caught it with a frown.

"Dammit, I thought I could get him from behind without him being aware," Naruto growled in frustration.

"And we're running out of time," said Protoman.

Then Pharaohman levitated before them laughing all the way "I'm impressed since you both lasted longer than I thought, consider it an honor to be deleted by me," he prepared to launch another one of his attacks when suddenly a beam shot between them without warning.

"Back off," a voice spoke out, everyone turned to see a black human shaped silhouette standing on the opening of a large hole.

"Who are you?!" Pharaohman demanded.

"Maybe this will refresh your memory," the dark silhouette leapt off the hole and landed close, allowing everyone to see much clearly and recognize who it is "I'm back,"

"It's Megaman!" said Protoman in surprise.

"It's about time you woke up sleeping beauty," Naruto smirked.

"But how?! I deleted you!" shouted Pharaohman.

"I think it's time for a little payback, Protoman let's show him what we can do," said Megaman.

"What do you mean?" asked Protoman.

"He means the double Program Advance," said the boy.

"Yeah, what do you say Chaud?" asked Lan through the PET.

"Sounds like a plan," the boy now known as Chaud replied.

"Might as well stand back and enjoy the show, but I'll be there to back you guys up just in case," said Naruto before taking a few steps back

"Program Advance!" Lan, Chaud along with their NetNavis spoke at the same time.

"Cyber Sword battle chip in, download!" both boys slotted the same chip with Megaman and Protoman's right arms morphing into blades.

"Wide Sword battle chip in, download!" this time it was their left arms transforming into a blade with a wide hilt.

"Long Sword battle chip in, download!" then they raised both blades into the air as they merged into a single purple blade.

"That's quite interesting, merging three techniques into a single attack must be what the Program Advance is about," said Kurama.

"I can't wait to do something like that," thought Naruto.

"I'll delete you all for good!" Pharaohman held his arms forward before firing a large beam of energy at them.

"Hah I don't think so!" Megaman and Protoman swung their attacks as they launched forward and sliced through the beam and slammed into Pharaohman engulfing him in a bright light much to his shock.

"Noooooooooooooo!" Pharaohman cried out in agony.

Music End

Suddenly the whole place began to quake and bits of rocks fell from the ceiling.

"Hey guys, the place is going down so we better get out of here!" said Naruto.

"Okay, let's go!" said Megaman,

Then the trio ran out of the pyramid and made it out before the whole place completely collapsed, it was at that moment when all the system in SciLabs became accessible once more with Pharaohman's interference.

"Now to stop that satellite!" Dr. Hikari tapped rapidly on the computer and everybody watched as the monitor displaying the earth's atmosphere showing that the satellite slowed to a stop before returning to orbit much to everyone's joy.

In the SciLabs cyberspace, the group watched the sands disappear from their surroundings signifying that everything was going back to the way it was before.

"Looks like everything getting back to normal," said Naruto.

"Yeah, by the way I haven't thanked you and Protoman for saving me back there, I owe you one," said Megaman.

"It was nothing, I just wanted to help," said Naruto with a foxy grin.

"You don't owe me anything, I was just doing what I was told to do," said Protoman.

"Megaman, I'm so glad that you're back!" said Lan happily, he and the others had entered the SciLabs completely for him to jack-in.

"Hey, I'm happy to be back thanks to all of you," said Megaman.

"Since we're all done here, let's get out of-," Naruto began to speak, then something burst out of the rubble from behind them, they turned around only to be shocked to see Pharaohman hovering above them "What is it about bad guys and their tendency to not stay down for long periods of time?"

"I wonder about that sometimes," said Megaman.

"Hahahahaha, nice try but it will take more than that to defeat me," said Pharaohman haughtily.

Then some sort of black hole appeared in the sky above as two beams of light descended and faded away to revealed Bombman and Stoneman.

"He's been weakened, take him now!" said Dr. Wily gleefully, Bombman and Stoneman held their arms as ropes made out of blue data shot out from them and wound around Pharaohman then rose up towards the black hole "Come to me Pharaohman!"

"No wait!" Megaman leapt into the black hole in pursuit.

"Hold up Megaman!" Naruto also jumped inside as well.

"Where did they go?" asked Dex.

"I don't know," said Lan.


Megaman and Naruto found themselves standing in an unknown cyberspace, neither of them had any time think as they quickly leapt out of the way to avoid a giant cube made of stone.

"You brats have made a big mistake coming here," said Stoneman.

"I hope you're ready to be blown away," said Bombman.

In the hallway of the hideout, Dr. Wily looked greedily at the hologram of Pharaohman "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dr. Wily and I have an offer to make. Swear your eternal allegiance to me and I will restored your corrupted data,"

"What? You expect me to bow to the whims of a lowly human?! Never!" said Pharaohman angrily.

"You may be the ultimate program but you're still only a NetNavi, your true power can only if you serve under me so do as I command!"

"Never!"

Meanwhile Naruto and Megaman were avoiding large rocks from Stoneman and bombs from Bombman with Naruto using the cyber shuriken to take them out from a distance and attacking back with the cyber kunai, and Megaman is using his Megabuster to fight back.

"I hope that you get a kick out of this!" Bombman did just as he launched his bombs straight at them.

"Cyber Shuriken plus Chakra Blade Boomerang!" Naruto conjured a handful of throwing stars before drawing out his chakra blade and throwing them together. The projectiles were able to take out the bombs while the spinning blade sped forward and inflicted a cut on Bombman's torso before returning into Naruto's grip. He wanted to follow up with his clones and get close but the bombs would keep them at bay "Kurama, can I use your chakra to take them down even if just a little?"

"Not yet, remember that you're still recovering from the dimensional rift so you're on your own," said Kurama.

"Darn it there's gotta be something I can use to turn the tide,"

"We have a problem, I can't download any battle chips from here to help them out," said Lan worriedly along with the others.

"There's no need to worry just activate the Style Change," said Dr. Hikari.

"Style Change?"

"It's a program that will increase his strength without battle chips, just punch in the new data command,"

Lan did as instructed then a red symbol appeared on the screen of his PET and he pressed a button to start up the program "HeatGuts Style activate!"

A red dome appeared around Megaman, causing everyone to look at him then it faded away to reveal Megaman in a different form. His blue bodysuit had changed to red and there is a large fist attached to his right arm.

"Whoa, you can really make someone say 'ow' with that arm," said Naruto with a smirk.

"Yeah baby, I can't wait to try this thing!" said Megaman.

"Get crushed you little pipsqueak, Rock Cube!" Stoneman raised his arms into the air as a large cubical rock appeared before being launched at Megaman who reared his large fist back and thrust forward with a straight punch which shattered it much to Stoneman's shock.

"Hey kit, there's something up with your blade," said Kurama.

Naruto looked at the chakra blade in his hand and noticed that the Konoha symbol was glowing, feeling a bit curious he tapped on the symbol only for the blade to suddenly surge with chakra as it took on the form of an elongated sword.

"What's going on?" asked Naruto confusedly.

"It seems like the blade is releasing all of the chakra it had absorbed to the point of overflowing," said Kurama.

"Overflowing huh…I think that's what I'll call it…the Overflow state," Naruto smirked.

"So what that your sword is doing weird stuff, that doesn't change anything!" Bombman launched a barrage of bombs from his shoulders at his opponent.

Naruto turned around and swung his blade which launched a wave of chakra that sliced through all of the bombs before continuing onwards to cut off Bombman's arm much to his shock as data leaked out of it "Yes it does," he swung rapidly to fire a barrage of waves to slice off the remaining limbs then gripping the chakra blade with both hands and rearing back "Take this, Overslash!" he swung it forward to launch a large wave of chakra that completely engulfed Bombman and instantly deleted him. Naruto looked at the blade to see that it is back to the way it was "I guess that new technique uses all of the chakra stored within, better keep that in mind,"

Megaman was currently giving Stoneman a really hard time in their battle "Time to end this!" then his right arm morphed into a long rectangular white cannon, it charged up in a matter of seconds before firing a massive beam that obliterated Stoneman from the cyberspace.

"I am the king of the Cybernet, I will rule the entire universe!" shouted Pharaohman.

"I will control you, you're a Navi!" said Dr. Wily.

"No human will ever control me, I'd rather be deleted! Then so be it!" Pharaohman's eyes glowed brightly then all of the equipment exploded, completely destroying the hideout with Dr. Wily still inside of it.

A beam of light landed in the SciLabs cyberspace to reveal that Megaman and Naruto had returned from wherever they had come from.

"Looks like we made it back," said Naruto.

"Yeah, that's relief," said Megaman.

"Megaman!" they turned to see Roll, Iceman and Glyde running towards them with smiles on their faces. Roll ran up to him and gave him a hug, he was a bit surprised at first but responded with his own.

"I'm so glad that you're okay," said Roll.

"Thanks Roll," said Megaman with a tinge of pink on his face while Naruto looked with a smile on his face.

"Hey don't forget about me," said Gutsman walking up to them with a crutch and bandages on his right leg and around his chest.

"Gutsman is back too," said Roll happily.

"Everyone is okay," said Glyde.

"I guess this means mission accomplished," said Naruto.

"You got that right Naruto," said Lan.

"Stick around Naruto, you'll definitely have a lot of fun with us," said Dex.

"And I wish to learn more about you," said Dr. Hikari.

"Sure I wouldn't mind hanging out with you," said Naruto with a foxy grin.

Kurama watched all of this with a smile on his before closing his eyes to sleep "Something tells me that we're in for a lot of adventures with these people. I hope that you enjoy your restart in this new world kit,"


This is Hussbek online with another chapter, I'm sorry about the delay and I hope that this chapter is worth the wait. I haven't gotten a few messages about putting Anetta in the harem so I'm considering whether to replace her with either Sal or Miu but you could suggest another character too. At the moment Naruto would gain a temporary method of being in the real world (Remember that Rush hasn't come into the real world yet) before gaining a more permanent way of shifting between the cyberspace and the real world. For those who don't know yet, I'm following the Anime storyline though I might borrow a bit from the games from time to time.

Again here's the list with the possible harem candidates

Jasmine
Meddy exe
Iris exe
Anetta
Princess Pride

The remaining two blank spots are girls from a different anime/game. For a hint let's just say that it's up to fate.

Possible additions are
Miu
Sal
Shuko
Mary Towa

This is Hussbek from Ghana.
