"Okay. So far we've seen the Jack of Spades, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Clubs, Black Joker, the 'Dark Queen' which seems to represent the Queen of Spades, and the Death King which seems to represent the King of Spades. That leaves at least two more Aces, three more Queens, three more Kings, three other Jacks, one more Joker and every number from ten under in four different suits unaccounted for." Ms. Yuri said frowning as she helped finish off the viruses alongside the officials, Lan, and her sister.
"We also know the high cards have the ability to summon some high level viruses. Most of those viruses were too strong for several Official Battlers unless they worked together." Lan said sighing as he looked at Mega who nodded slightly although he was in better shape than most of the Navi's that had gone off to fight and defend the Mother Computer.
"Not just any high level viruses either. I recognize most of those viruses from my WWW days, they're solely found in the Undernet." Yuri added with a grimace while Lan and Chaud nodded in agreement, the two of them had been in the Undernet enough times to recognize the viruses solely found there.
"Well on the bright side we defended the Mother Computer, got rid of the viruses, and found two others who are stronger than most Official Battlers." Lan said smiling at the twins who gave him small smiles in return, blushing slightly at what is considered high praise from a hero.
"It was a pleasure to meet and work with your Navi's ladies." Chaud agreed, nodding at the twins who gave matching smiles.
"Nice working with you two as well, better than fighting against you at least." Yuri said nodding to Chaud while Mari smiled at the two boys, Sal having been evacuated by the SciLab personnel earlier when the sirens went off. She had wanted to help, but she still needed to put Woodman's backup data in and make sure he was okay.
"We'll have to do it again sometime. Diana enjoyed meeting Megaman after I've told her all about him, and you as well Lan." Mari said smiling at her student who grinned as he looked at Chaud.
"You're still in charge of the Team Assignments for missions right?" Lan asked as he got a great idea to either get the twins on his side or at least get them into a position to be his unknowing accomplices. The two were great Battlers, more so than he thought they were, and he believed he had found his Ace of Hearts and Red Joker. Now if he could only find a way to get them on his side peacefully, and get their loyalty before they learned what he was up to. Ms. Mari would be the wild card of course due to not many suspecting her or even thinking she had her own Navi, and her sister would be the Ace of Hearts since a lot of guys in the city had crushes on her and she could, and sometimes has, used that to her advantage.
"Yeah. Why?" Chaud asked causing Lan's grin to widen as he looked at the twins. Chaud eyed the other boy warily, he knew that grin anywhere and while it seemed excited and bright to the girls in the room Chaud knew that it was the smile he got when he had a genius idea for his plans.
"Well if they're okay with it then why don't we let the sisters join the Team? We'd get to battle with each other more often, there would be more people to keep their eyes open and watch each other's backs. Plus I totally want to have a battle with Ms. Mari, her sister, and their Navi's when this is all over!" Lan said grinning and causing everyone to stare at him before Mari started laughing.
"I'm sorry. I probably should have expected you to want to NetBattle us later but with all of your adventures recently… sorry but it's nice to know that you haven't changed at all Lan." Mari said smiling at Lan after she calmed down her laughing fit, causing Lan to grin sheepishly while Chaud smirked and Ms. Yuri snickered. Chaud and Lan exchanged slightly amused glances that went unnoticed by the sisters, boy wouldn't she be in for a surprise later.
"Either way they're pretty capable, much more capable than most of the Officials. I'd have no problems working with them." Chaud said smirking as he looked at the pair of sisters, knowing Lan would explain the specifics to him later in private...well…maybe not in private but at least away from people not in the Deck. For now though he would read the cues the taller boy was sending him and follow orders. Chaud's smirk widened ever so slightly, if nothing else…he was a good Official for simply following orders to the letter.
If he could handle following the orders of arrogant pricks with a straight face, then he could certainly follow his chosen Kings orders with pride and joy.
"So what do you say? You two want to help us out?" Lan asked grinning at the set of twins who stared at the two guys shocked for a minute before Mari grinned and looked down at her PET only to see her Navi, Diana, grinning back at her.
"What do you say Diana? Want to help out Lan and Mega?" Mari asked causing her Navi to grin wider. The accuracy and speed specialized Navi was silver in color with an icy blue trim and her default 'buster' was actually a bow and arrows…well the virtual version of it at least. Apparently she was based off of the old Roman Goddess of the Hunt and Moon.
"Of course! Can't let anything bad happen to our cute little students now can we?" Diana called causing Lan and Mega to blush at being called cute.
"What do you think Artemis? Want to help take down the Deck?" Yuri asked her own Navi, who was pretty much the inverse of her sisters. Artemis was an icy blue color with silver trim and her default weapon was a pair of virtual hunting knives, apparently she was based off of the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. Of course it amazed everyone that the two sisters didn't know that the other was alive…and yet their Navi's and taste in busting styles were incredibly similar.
"Sure. Could be fun. Plus we got to protect our younger sisters don't we?" Artemis asked smirking while Diana and Mari scowled.
"I'm older!" Mari and Diana said, Lan and Chaud exchanged amused looks when the set of twin operators, and their semi-twin Navi's, bantered back and forth over who was the older sibling.
If nothing else then this would not be boring.
