First off, many thanks to those who read and reviewed my last chapter. I really appreciated it and I'm more than inspired to continue this fic which I swill have it uploaded within two to three weeks. Thank you. Really, this meant a lot to me as it meant a lot to you.
This chapter we'll shift things a bit as the upcoming closure of Netto's first year in junior high nears and I'll give our characters a lot of exposure and more plot as school time nears its exit and Netto is going to have a bit of action as another "disturbance" is trying to get in to the Net Saver's way.
Read below to see why, and how Meiru would be of any help to him.
Also, Enzan makes an appearance
Well, that's all for now. Time to start this fic and enjoy!
The night before the exams...
At the police station, Netto is being debriefed by Meijin as it shows that a cell was wrecked and claimed that a person in a Cross Fusion armor similar to Rockman appeared and is believed to have busted a wanted criminal loose, and the escaped criminal is revealed to be Takeshi Asakura, and though the CCTV cameras failed to record how ASakura escaped, it did show the footage of the Cross Fisuon bearer smashed the cell that allows Asakura to escape.
It shows that the armored person is encased in purple and black armor, and vaguely resembles an slight imitation of "Cobra Commander", and the police failed to stop him as they got beaten up and resulted in 20 dead cops and injured about 30 of them, and then went through a computer and escaped, and there he was nowhere to be found, in which it became more mysterious as there is no Dimensional converter found, so it is a mystery as to how the Cross Fusion user managed to appear undetected.
"Eh? That's the guy who springs a criminal out?"
"Yes...and we're still figuring out how he got inside even though there's no Dimensional Converter found around the station..."
"And his armor...it looked...cool...but the way he fights..."
"Still...can we count on your help?"
"Sure..."
"Sir Meijin...we looked around the area...no sign of Asakura..."
"Okay...keep searching..."
"Yes, sir..."
And so Netto looked around and still got no clues as to who the perpetrator is, and bowed to Meijin that he has to go home because he has a final exam tomorrow which he accepted and thanked Netto for responding. As Netto left, he talked to Rockman via his PET on who would spring a very violent criminal out of jail and what would benefit him for. They have no idea that they passed by an alley were Asakura is hiding, and he is smirking viciously as he got to escape jail, and he got an item in his hand, which is revealed to be a PET, and there a flashback scene is being played.
~FLASHBACK~
An hour before his escape, Asakura had just beaten up another inmate and he was "physically disciplined" by responding guards, and as he lay on his bed, he is getting irritated and impatient, and brought out a PET he hid under his pillow, and there recalled how he got it in the first place, as a person appeared and seemed to have a connection to the Cyber world and told Asakura that he can have the PET and get out, then do anything he wants, as well as giving him the means to obtain a Navi or Darkloid partner, and after that, Asakura waited for weeks until deciding that it is now the right time to make his move.
Several minutes later, the scene shows that Asakura's cell was busted open and out came what appeared to be a Cross Fusion user and casually walked the corridors and as responding guards came, the armored entrant easily dispatched them and began beating the guards before using his PET to escape via a nearby computer before more guards arrived, and after witnessing it they decided to call Meijin, and in turn he called Netto.
~END FLASHBACK~
The next day, it was revealed that it is the 1st week of March, and today is the finals exam, which things are getting hectic for Netto as he is forced to make a detour from heading to school due to the fact that he had to juggle his time between school and as a Net Saver. The pressure was starting to get to him as he is ready to work on his finals exams when he got a call from Meijin about the Cross Fusion user being spotted , and it shows that it wasn't a Darkloid attackthat was initially been reported.
"Darn it…of all the worst timing…why now?"
Netto/Rockman was busy fending off the Cross Fusion user, who is now identified as Ouja Man, as who just assaulted a school for the highly gifted, and he seemed to have a perchance to violence as loves to maim and/or kill someone he feels could "satisfy his hunger". He loves a fight and has no qualms on taking on someone regardless of their age and gender. Thanks to being given a PET, his alter ego, Asakura, is given a lot of reasons to rejoice.
This is because Asakura was given a PET and a chip to enable "Cross-Fusion" and was given a Navi partner named Venosnaker. Originally nothing more than a Darkloid with an appearance of a adult human-sized cobra, when Asakura initiates Cross-Fusion he was given an armor that made him resemble an armored Cobra Commander with purple color and black suited undergarment. Surprisingly, despite the Cross Fusion, Venosnaker remained separate from Ouja Man and even moves normally after the initiation was completed. Armed with a small scepter with a cobra head which acts as his PET, he has only three battle chips:
- Summon Venosnaker;
- Summon Veno-Sword
- Final Vent
This was a problem for Netto/Rockman as they are handicapped in this battle, two-against-one and even though he has only three battle chips, Ouja Man was still a force to reckon with. Netto/Rockman was now reeling at his opponent as Ouja Man was a superb street fighter and even with the use of his various battle chips he was lagging behind in terms of fighting style. Asakura was starting to get a bit bored with how Rockman fight and even decided to agitate him by summoning Venosnaker and attacked the elementary-level kids who happened to be the gifted scholars.
"So…this is the famous Rockman…whose partner is no more than a slacking teenager…you're starting to bore me out…if my fighting can't inspire you…then perhaps this will…"
Due to the Dimensional Converter that appeared outside the school area, Venosnaker was able to cross and exist in the real world and began to spit acid, killing a few kids and this agitated Netto, but it took a lot of will power from Rockman to calm his partner, but the Net Saver decided to step onto Asakura's level. He started to engage with Asakura using his acquired knowledge on Judo, but even though he managed to catch up with his opponent, Ouja Man was very crafty and managed to beat him down.
"I...I won't let you! Battle Chip...Long Sword...SLOT IN!"
"Good...I like that...Battle Chip...Veno-Sword...SLOT IN!"
Soon both were armed with swords and clashed blades, but Ouja Man was the better swordsman due to his experience.
"That's it…keep that up…now you're starting to amuse me at least…here…have a dose of this…Battle Chip: Final Vent…SLOT IN!"
As Netto/Rockman gets up, he saw Ouja Man jumps up in a backward flip motion towards Venosnaker and then the Cobra-Darkloid "spits" his "partner" towards him and Rockman inserted a chip to defend himself.
"Battle Chip…Guard Blocks…SLOT IN!"
The guard blocks appeared and shielded Netto/Rockman, but Ouja Man continued his attack, doing a bicycle kick-like motion and breaks his way through the blocks and is moments away from impact, but Roll appeared and pushed Rockman out of the way and she got the brunt of the attack, sending her crashing a few feet away, seriously injuring her.
"Huh? Now why would she do that?"
"Roll!"
As Netto-Rockman tries to rush at Roll's side, Ouja Man uses his Veno-Sword and attacked Rockman, keeping him away from her, but then, Enzan-Blues showed up and is armed with the Masamune, stabbing him on his right shoulder. Although hurt, he was impressed at his new opponent and decided to leave for now.
"Lucky you, kid…I found someone more worthy of my time…you…the red-armored guy with the white hair…I'll find you and challenge you…hope you're more pro-active than that Hikari brat…"
With that Ouja Man disappeared along with his Navi partner and the dimensional converter was deactivated on its own. As Netto reverted back to normal, he was relieved that only roll was there and not Meiru. As Enzan Ijuin helps out Netto, he noticed several bruises on his left cheek and right rib cage area. Seconds later three of Netto's friends arrived after hearing the news. They were Dekao Oyama, Tohru Hikawa and Meijin Eguchi. Meijin suggested that Netto be taken to a doctor but he refused.
"Can't…have a finals exam…or I risk getting summer classes…"
"Fine…but I'll come with you so I can come up with an alibi for Ms. Mariko Ozono…"
At school Meijin managed to convince Mariko to give Netto a chance to take up the long quiz without delay claiming that Ouja Man abducted him and wanted to use him as a "punching bag" and she took the bait. Luckily Netto's PET was inside his pocket and saw Netto couldn't concentrate due to his untreated injuries he got from Ouja Man, so he had to resort to cheating as to cover up his identity as a Net Saver.
"Rockman…you don't have to…"
"Sometimes a white lie is needed to cover your real tracks…we don't have time…here are the answers and write it down…you have to get to a clinic after this…"
Reluctantly he did, and after that he submitted his papers and went to Meijin, who somehow learned of this but came to respect Rockman's actions. Then a scene was attracted when the youngest Net Saver slumped to the floor with a shrieking Meiru shouting for help. He was taken to a clinic and managed to wake him up to prevent him from going to shock due to the severity of his injuries which ranged to concussions to a blow to his left temple. Luckily it wasn't too serious and he was discharged from the clinic and was sent home.
To Be Continued…
Hope you liked it.
Well…that was intense…from an action-packed scene to a lemon scene…but at least it has a story to boot, and it has emotions involved…
Also, Ouja Man is based from Kamen Rider Ohja, a character from Kamen Rider Ryuki. That series gave me the idea on who will be the villains here and I decided to try it out. Hope you like it. And I'll try to experiment on bringing more Kamen riders here in the next coming chapters…
Preview:
Will Netto Hikari pass the finals? Or will he be forced to repeat a subject?
The answer will be revealed in the next chapter.
And expect Meiru to "COMFORT" Netto in a more SEDUCTIVE WAY…
