Chapter IX - Showdown
The lights flashed on, Enzan's attention was immediatly drawn to the red flash that jumped down from a higher part. "Well, well, well, look who we have here. if it isn't the Great leader and his personal Sidekick.", Gail laughed. Netto's eyes shot wide open. "Gail Kimada...", he spoke softly. "Yeah it's me allright", the man spoke while taking a few steps towards them.
"It seems you two managed to get around in my base well huh? Just because Ijyuuin here has done HIS part of the job I gave him.", Gail stayed cool, his face showed a faint smile as he snapped his fingers. The men hardhandedly grabbed Enzan's arms and pulled him to the wall, taking every gun from him. Then one of them kicked him in his stomache two times and held him up to Netto's face.
"You don't understand do you Hikari...", Gail started. "Ijyuuin here gave away your base, but I figured he told you by now, that I shot him, and he led a trail of blood to your base. Actually, your friend here is gonna be the cause of death for about 40 kids now. Isn't that touching?" Netto frowned, "He appologized, don't play tricks with my mind Gail!", he spoke firmly against the redhead, who only smiled.
"Boy, your goodness will be your downfall, you're to naive to really understand what's going on here. Ijyuuin had it in his head multiple times, someone got shot and it will be you, infact, he's gonna do it for you. This kid is our newest and best member of the WWW. Enzan opened his eyes and coughed, "Damn Gail... your stupidity rises above that of a damned regular stereotype ass, in your dreams I might be under your control, but right here in this world I detest people like you, you're just FAR from the truth you moron."
Gail stared at him dryly. "Kid, who said I HAD you under my control, I am going to GET you under my control!", he smirked. "And don't worry about your friend, I'm sure he'll get a nice stay in the afterlife." He loaded a gun and pointed it at Netto's head dryly. "So much for the leader of the Resistance Net, with him dead I'll also get rid of his damned NetNavi pest Rockman.exe!"
The blue eyes widened, he couldn't allow it. He gritted his teeth firmly and payed well attention to Gail's timing, as soon as he notice he was going to pull the trigger he pushed the big guy infront of the bullet as a shield for Netto. "NETTO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!", Enzan screamed as he took a low roll over the ground to get the steel pipe he used before.
The younger boy started running towards the door but was punched down hard by one of the soldiers. Enzan noticed and felt a strange rage building in his blood. He almost crushed the pipe with his fist and speeded towards the man that hit Netto. His aim seemed perfect, the pipe almost cut through the man's neck as he fell down to the ground bleeding.
Gail only laughed on his seat to the syncro board. "Oh you guys are so cute together, but you know? Even IF you manage to kill me, Shadow Stalker will be here to finish the programme for me, WWW WILL control the net. I have enough followers to start a world wide war!" Netto got up and rubbed his eyes. "Enzan... The weapons!", he started frantically.
Enzan stared at him then at a smirking Gail with a black PET in his hands. "All I have to do it press a single button, some data will be changed and voila a war starts, if I do that in every country, the entire world will be in war and screaming for a new leader, that will be the time for the WWW to rise up as the new leader for the world. You're to late kids, WAY to late"
Netto's eyes narrowed greatly. "I might not have much strength to fight physically, but I WONT let you and your stupid navi take over the net, I and Rockman will stop YOU!!", he screamed as he threw a wireless port into the main computer and plugged Rockman.exe into the computer. As soon as Enzan noticed Netto had plugged in his Navi, Blues followed into the main board.
The navi's stood up against an entire army of viruses and security programmes, wanting nothing more then total deletion. Rockman aimed his rockbuster at the first line of virusses as Blues headed up for the programmes. "Hey Blues! first time working together, let's make it a good one!", Rockman shouted to his crimson companion.
Blues' focus never left the battle though he was able to speak a little, "yeah yeah, just delete all what you see and make sure you can find the programme that deletes and switches the Data, contact me if you do!", he said in his usual cold way. Rock nodded and shot some more virusses down as he started running towards an entrance to the rest of the computer.
Blues slashed down the progammes with ease, they simply weren't up to his fierce speed and power. As soon as he took care of the programmes he started running into the direction Rockman left off...
Enzan rose from his second victom and stared at Gail who wasn't in his seat anymore but at the computer getting Shadow ready for battle again. The older boy walked towards him calmly fastening the grip on the pipe and reposistioning his hands. "Well Gail, drop the PET or have a nice pipe in your neck...", he spoke deeply.
The redhead turned around and let his bright green eyes meet Enzan's blue ones. "Oh you think you'd be fast enough kid?", he marked dryly. Enzan felt the same weird raghe build up as he started building up speed aswell. He well aimed a first hit with it right at his head, allthough he could've known that it was going to fail.
Gail skillfully catched the pipe and gave it a swift pull leaping Enzan forward. The redhead took his chance and gave him a fairce blow in the stomache with his elbow. Enzan backed off and coughed while reaching for his stomache wincing. "I see you're not really up to fighting anyone are ya, it's sad... I'm sure you can only swing a gun, but when it comes to hand on hand you got stuck somewhere."
The green eyes seemed emotionless now, unlike before. It reminded Enzan of his own emotionless eyes before he really felt the joy of emotions. He stared at the ground for a second then rose fully and stared at Gail. "It's what you think, you haven't seen me fight now have you...", Enzan noted dryly. He let his breathing come back to senses and waited for Gail to make a first move...
Rockman had arrived at the main board, he stared around for the weaker points to it. "Hmm... This is odd, it seems to need a password or a key to remove the security programmes.", he muttered to himself. A sudden shot to his back made him fly right against the barrier.
"Hey you! you're that navi that was on the line before, and ran away, heh stupid kid.", a dark voice spoke from behind him. Rock got up wincing a little and stared at the black armored navi, the golden eyes and deep purple long hair distinguished him perfectly, Shadow Stalker.exe, most feared NetNavi around.
"Shadow... what are you doing here?", Rock asked even though he knew the answer. The black Navi let out an icy laugh and shrugged. "well I dunno just haing around I guess, maybe inviting you to my party I'm gonna throw off once I Activated the programme... No really.. what else?", he crossed his arms and frowned.
Rock never expected such an answer from him. He dropped his guard and stared at him a bit insecure. "Why do you work for Gail anyway , what do you gain from it Shadow?", Rock stared carefully. Shadow stared at him dryly. "What I gain from it? Why should a navi gain something from the choices of his Operator hm?"
"I gain the same feeling Netto gains when we archieve something, the feeling you get when you do something right, it just feels good. Don't you ever have the feeling you're doing something horribly wrong? Don't you feel it's WRONG to kill thousands of people for one thing?" A silence fell between them, the golden eyes of Shadow staring right into Rockman's green eyes.
"SHADOW!! Stop listening to that stupid navi! Delete him!!", Gail's voice sounded harschly. The black Navi nodded and charged his black swords. "Well little blue pest, time to say goodbye!". Rockman took a step back and got ready for battle again.
Just as shadow wanted to attack Rockman lethally Blues kicked him away from him roughtly and stood infront of Rock. "Get past me first Shadow!", Blues stated coldly. He shook his grey long hair back and smirked. Shadow put on a cocky face, "Asif you stand a change against me, i'm better then last time, and last time you were weak as hell!"
Blues stared at him dryly, "You're forgetting that this time I'm getting chips from the kid." The black armored navi crossed his arms. "I think your operator is a little in over his head at the moment kid, you might aswell give in while you can!"
Enzan was closely worn out, he had taken so many attacks from Gail he could hardly stand on his feet. Blood dripped down from several wounds on his body, but he wasn't about to give up yet. 'There has to be a way to find his weak spot damnit...', his eyes scanned his surrounding. Gail, only scratched a bit smirked and picked up the steel pipe from the ground and walked towards Enzan threatening.
"Hehehe Wanna bet this'll hurt?", he laughingly brought out while lifting the pipe and pushing Enzan onto the floor with ease. "You're just a kid, you don't stand a chance to an adult, let alone I'm a trained adult!", he tapped the pipe to Enzan's right leg where the scarf was. The boy stared up at him not asking for mercy, but rather to actually hit him. Gail just smiled and started tapping it harder, just testing the boy's painlimits.
"What are you waiting for?!" Enzan suddenly shouted at him. Gail stared dirctly into his eyes. "I was waiting for you to say that hehehee...." He rose it and hit it fast and hard against his leg, making Enzan scream out of pain. The wound started bleeding again, heavily... Tears sprung up into the blue eyes, rolled down mingling with the blood on his face.
"Awww... you're crying did that hurt?", Gail teased. Enzan stared up at him and suddenly used his left leg to kick Gail's knee. He succeeded in bending it backwards, making Gail scream out to and fall back. Enzan rolled back and grabbed a gun, rose with a horrible stinging pain and pointed it at Gail's head. "NO MORE GAMES KIMADA!!!", he shouted while narrowing his eyes greatly.
Gail got up and leaned onto a chair getting his hands up a little. "Yeah yeah, the boy can actually threat quite well, I allready seen that, but you know... With you I wanted to see what'd hurt you most, and I know now. He pressed a button as doors opened and some soldiers ran in grabbing Netto and pulling out the wireless plugin port, breaking every contact with Rockman and Blues.
Enzan stared at the gun that was pressed roughly into the side of Netto's head while he was held hardhandedly. Netto stared at him with teared eyes. "Shoot him Enzan... just shoot him while you still can. You always were a better leader then me..." The younger boy's words struck his heart and he felt his breath become ragged and pointed the gun back at Gail in rage. "Let him GO AT ONCE!!", Enzan shouted on top of his lungs...
---------
Enzan tightened the grip on the gun and narrowed his eyes. "I'm NOT bluffing Gail I'm eager to shoot you through the head, and not just once, I'd rather shoot the entire LOAD INTO YOUR GODDAMNED HEAD!!". The way the boy suddenly spat out in true hatred and rage interested the redheaded leader. He smiled again. "Well boy, be my guest, shoot me in the head, but if you do your boyfriend dies aswell, but be honest... You'd rather have me out of your life, if the boy is dead, you're also the leader am I right?"
The bay gritted his teeth and almost started trembling out of pure anger. "Do you really THINK I CARE the LEAST about leadership... when I can lead a normal life?!!", he said trying to surpress his boiling hatred towards the man. Gail wasn't showing the least bit of his doubt he held towards Enzan, 'Why isn't he backing off, does he really want to play with his friend's life so dearly?!' "NOW LET HIM GO!", the boy screamed out again.
--------
Rockman and Blues, even though together were hopelessly outnumbered in power, now even cut off from an operator, Blues felt the same he felt when he was pinned down the first time. he only pushed Rockman back, he knew that if Rock was deleted fully, Netto'd die aswell, he simply had to sacrifice himself. "Rockman, get back, I'll try my last effort on him..." The blue navi stared at his crimson friend. "You gotta be kidding me Blues! You're NOT gonna sacrefice yourself for me!", he shouted in panic.
"I HAVE TO! If you get deleted that kid operator of you dies aswell, it's going to be this way if you want it or not!", his last words sounded as he dashed into the waiting Shadow... The Black navi stared at him dryly and only kicked him away, "So futile, by now you should KNOW that you're no competition at all, you're simply to weak kid!" A few Sword attacks easily cut down Blues to his last strength. He was helplessly defeated and soon to be deleted...
Shadow Stopped suddenly, the sword still at Blues' neck withdrew. 'It's that feeling again, something is wrong...', he stared around a bit frantically. Blues noticed the way Shadow acted suddenly but decided not to move untill he felt a powersurge aswell, something was heading their way in great speed too.. Rockman stared up as he suddenly saw a dark blast falling down behind Shadow causing him to be pushed away by the shockwaves.
After the smoke cleared from the grounds a dark Navi stood infront of the three. clad in a shredded cape, red eyes priming into the very existing of the Navi's. Shadow started to become more and more paniccing. "You're that Navi!! That mysterious Netnavi!!" The red eyes foccussed on Shadow, "How nice of you to remember me, I only remember you as a nuisance to the net..."
Rockman and Blues just stared at the two as Rockman pulled Blues on his feet letting him rest onto his shoulder. "Who're you?", Rockman's ever curious mind wanted to know. The dark navi stared at him for a second then back at Shadow. "I'm Forte.exe, just a roaming NetNavi that doesn't need or want an opperator, all I want is a quiet UNCONTROLLED net..."
Shadow gritted his teeth and charged his sword, "Well last time you just won because you sneaked up on me you asshole!". Forte stared at him dryly, "My my, rude words for such a little Navi, you have a lot to learn my unworthy opponent...", he said calmly and charged his buster and aimed it at the now truly scared Shadow Stalker.
"No way... This is unfair man!" Shadow screamed at him as he dropped his every attack he had. Forte just stared at him still holding the charged blast. "Give me one good reason not to kick your black ass", he said dryly. Shadow wanted to just log out, but without Gail's help he couldn't... Rockman walked forward. "Sir Forte, I don't think this Navi poses a threat as long as you are here.", Rock tried his best to keep cool in the situation.
Forte stared at him again. "Well young Navi, the problem is, I wont be staying here, so if you want him out of the way too, let me kill him and live.". Blues stared up at the mysterious Navi aswell. "Go ahead man, this navi has caused enough trouble!". The cloaked navi rose his head and brought back the power of his blast to just enough to get Shadow unconsious and fired it right at his chest. "Very well...", he said as he started to fire charged blasts at the barrier of the programme, it didn't take very long for it to break under the immense power, not long after that the programme blew up into pieces.
----------
The lights fell out again. Gail startled and held his breath. 'Not again... please not again...'. Unfortunate for Gail his worst fear was true, Forte popped onto every computer screen possible, his bloodred eyes seeking contact with Gail's. The redhead felt tears brewing up in his eyes as his heart started beating in his throat.
'The ....Reploid... Baby.... you are... the baby I saw when I was 14, you are the one ... that was a model for the baby's design.... no...', Gail started thinking frantically as he suddenly heard two gunshots but kept looking at the screen. Forte.exe smirked demonically and showed the destroyed programme. Then jumped up and dissapeared from the screen.
Gail's attention flew away from his surroundings. 'Forte... he wasn't human, he was the backup plan, I can't let him... I wont let him. It couldn't be... did father want this to happen... was I only a pawn in his play, just a simple disposable human... I made a mistake, like he said, humans make mistakes... I will NOT fail...'. "I WILL NOT FAIL!!!" he hit the emergency powerlines as red light jumped on revealing Enzan helping Netto up.
Enzan startled and stared up as he heard alarms go off and stared at Gail closing in on them. "Now you two shall DIE and DIE hard!!", Gail's rage was boiling, he wanted them dead more then ever. Enzan slowly reached out for a gun but it was kicked away by Gail. The man suddenly grabbed the boy's collar and raised him upt to his full height. "No more SCREWING around!!", he shouted in his face as he threw him hard against an iron pipe, walked towards him and kicked him multiple times in his stomache and sides. "AND STAY THERE!!!".
Netto was nailed onto the ground from fear, but tried to get closer to Enzan untill he felt a cold point of a gun against his forehead. "NO way kid, you're not going ANYWHERE!", Gail screamed. Gail loaded the gun and pushed him backwards. "Stand up NOW!", he commanded him, "It's a lot more fun to just shoot you like in an execution! Don't worry, I rethought the idea, your boyfriend will join you shortly after you!"
The younger boy was speachless, tears ran from his eyes. "N-No...." , he could just stutter senselessly. Gail smirked. "Heheeh... this was pretty easy now wasn't it?! I Have you now, oh so great leader of the resistance Net, and after you Ijyuuin DIES" He fastened his grip on the gun and pointed it firmly at his head, then pulled the trigger...
Enzan was the one that pushed Netto away resulting the bullet to hit a pipe behind them, steam started flowing out. Gail gritted his teeth, "I thought I told you to STAY THERE!!", he screamed at Enzan who was trying to get up again stared at him and smiled faintly. "Not gonna get us..." He pointed the gun at Gail's heart and shot...
Gail noticed a little to late. He took the bullet to his heart and stared in front of him not believing what just happened, he was to far allready to really feel the pain, but in a last act of rage he aimed the gun at Netto's head once again and shot... The bullet was well on it's way this time...
Netto shielded his head with his arms as tears ran down. when he opened his eyes again he saw the bullet had hit Enzan instead, the older boy had taken the bullet into his chest and fell down to the floor bleeding. Netto stared at him with big eyes as the body fell to the floor, tears streamed down more. "ENZAN!!!!!", he cried out as he dropped onto his knees and let himself fall over the bleeding chest...
*FLASH*
The sounds in his head faded, he could hear people scream, but this time understanded why, he was hit, he could feel the pain but didn't really care anymore, Gail was dying anyway...
'So far away.... So far away'
*FLASH*
Gail lay on the cold floor, his eyes fixed on the screen he had seen his downfall before. "He knew... they all knew... They knew I was never the one to succeed" The always shrouded flashed of his past stared to lose their cloaks as he finnally saw what really happened in his past... "Father... My real father... abused me... calling me useless... I am useless.... I never succeeded... I'm beter off dead... anyway...", he softly murmered. He closed his teared eyes and sighed one last time as he waited for his body to give up the fight he had fought for only 24 years...
The lights flashed on, Enzan's attention was immediatly drawn to the red flash that jumped down from a higher part. "Well, well, well, look who we have here. if it isn't the Great leader and his personal Sidekick.", Gail laughed. Netto's eyes shot wide open. "Gail Kimada...", he spoke softly. "Yeah it's me allright", the man spoke while taking a few steps towards them.
"It seems you two managed to get around in my base well huh? Just because Ijyuuin here has done HIS part of the job I gave him.", Gail stayed cool, his face showed a faint smile as he snapped his fingers. The men hardhandedly grabbed Enzan's arms and pulled him to the wall, taking every gun from him. Then one of them kicked him in his stomache two times and held him up to Netto's face.
"You don't understand do you Hikari...", Gail started. "Ijyuuin here gave away your base, but I figured he told you by now, that I shot him, and he led a trail of blood to your base. Actually, your friend here is gonna be the cause of death for about 40 kids now. Isn't that touching?" Netto frowned, "He appologized, don't play tricks with my mind Gail!", he spoke firmly against the redhead, who only smiled.
"Boy, your goodness will be your downfall, you're to naive to really understand what's going on here. Ijyuuin had it in his head multiple times, someone got shot and it will be you, infact, he's gonna do it for you. This kid is our newest and best member of the WWW. Enzan opened his eyes and coughed, "Damn Gail... your stupidity rises above that of a damned regular stereotype ass, in your dreams I might be under your control, but right here in this world I detest people like you, you're just FAR from the truth you moron."
Gail stared at him dryly. "Kid, who said I HAD you under my control, I am going to GET you under my control!", he smirked. "And don't worry about your friend, I'm sure he'll get a nice stay in the afterlife." He loaded a gun and pointed it at Netto's head dryly. "So much for the leader of the Resistance Net, with him dead I'll also get rid of his damned NetNavi pest Rockman.exe!"
The blue eyes widened, he couldn't allow it. He gritted his teeth firmly and payed well attention to Gail's timing, as soon as he notice he was going to pull the trigger he pushed the big guy infront of the bullet as a shield for Netto. "NETTO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!", Enzan screamed as he took a low roll over the ground to get the steel pipe he used before.
The younger boy started running towards the door but was punched down hard by one of the soldiers. Enzan noticed and felt a strange rage building in his blood. He almost crushed the pipe with his fist and speeded towards the man that hit Netto. His aim seemed perfect, the pipe almost cut through the man's neck as he fell down to the ground bleeding.
Gail only laughed on his seat to the syncro board. "Oh you guys are so cute together, but you know? Even IF you manage to kill me, Shadow Stalker will be here to finish the programme for me, WWW WILL control the net. I have enough followers to start a world wide war!" Netto got up and rubbed his eyes. "Enzan... The weapons!", he started frantically.
Enzan stared at him then at a smirking Gail with a black PET in his hands. "All I have to do it press a single button, some data will be changed and voila a war starts, if I do that in every country, the entire world will be in war and screaming for a new leader, that will be the time for the WWW to rise up as the new leader for the world. You're to late kids, WAY to late"
Netto's eyes narrowed greatly. "I might not have much strength to fight physically, but I WONT let you and your stupid navi take over the net, I and Rockman will stop YOU!!", he screamed as he threw a wireless port into the main computer and plugged Rockman.exe into the computer. As soon as Enzan noticed Netto had plugged in his Navi, Blues followed into the main board.
The navi's stood up against an entire army of viruses and security programmes, wanting nothing more then total deletion. Rockman aimed his rockbuster at the first line of virusses as Blues headed up for the programmes. "Hey Blues! first time working together, let's make it a good one!", Rockman shouted to his crimson companion.
Blues' focus never left the battle though he was able to speak a little, "yeah yeah, just delete all what you see and make sure you can find the programme that deletes and switches the Data, contact me if you do!", he said in his usual cold way. Rock nodded and shot some more virusses down as he started running towards an entrance to the rest of the computer.
Blues slashed down the progammes with ease, they simply weren't up to his fierce speed and power. As soon as he took care of the programmes he started running into the direction Rockman left off...
Enzan rose from his second victom and stared at Gail who wasn't in his seat anymore but at the computer getting Shadow ready for battle again. The older boy walked towards him calmly fastening the grip on the pipe and reposistioning his hands. "Well Gail, drop the PET or have a nice pipe in your neck...", he spoke deeply.
The redhead turned around and let his bright green eyes meet Enzan's blue ones. "Oh you think you'd be fast enough kid?", he marked dryly. Enzan felt the same weird raghe build up as he started building up speed aswell. He well aimed a first hit with it right at his head, allthough he could've known that it was going to fail.
Gail skillfully catched the pipe and gave it a swift pull leaping Enzan forward. The redhead took his chance and gave him a fairce blow in the stomache with his elbow. Enzan backed off and coughed while reaching for his stomache wincing. "I see you're not really up to fighting anyone are ya, it's sad...

Rockman had arrived at the main board, he stared around for the weaker points to it. "Hmm... This is odd, it seems to need a password or a key to remove the security programmes.", he muttered to himself. A sudden shot to his back made him fly right against the barrier.
"Hey you! you're that navi that was on the line before, and ran away, heh stupid kid.", a dark voice spoke from behind him. Rock got up wincing a little and stared at the black armored navi, the golden eyes and deep purple long hair distinguished him perfectly, Shadow Stalker.exe, most feared NetNavi around.
"Shadow... what are you doing here?", Rock asked even though he knew the answer. The black Navi let out an icy laugh and shrugged. "well I dunno just haing around I guess, maybe inviting you to my party I'm gonna throw off once I Activated the programme... No really.. what else?", he crossed his arms and frowned.
Rock never expected such an answer from him. He dropped his guard and stared at him a bit insecure. "Why do you work for Gail anyway , what do you gain from it Shadow?", Rock stared carefully. Shadow stared at him dryly. "What I gain from it? Why should a navi gain something from the choices of his Operator hm?"
"I gain the same feeling Netto gains when we archieve something, the feeling you get when you do something right, it just feels good. Don't you ever have the feeling you're doing something horribly wrong? Don't you feel it's WRONG to kill thousands of people for one thing?" A silence fell between them, the golden eyes of Shadow staring right into Rockman's green eyes.
"SHADOW!! Stop listening to that stupid navi! Delete him!!", Gail's voice sounded harschly. The black Navi nodded and charged his black swords. "Well little blue pest, time to say goodbye!". Rockman took a step back and got ready for battle again.
Just as shadow wanted to attack Rockman lethally Blues kicked him away from him roughtly and stood infront of Rock. "Get past me first Shadow!", Blues stated coldly. He shook his grey long hair back and smirked. Shadow put on a cocky face, "Asif you stand a change against me, i'm better then last time, and last time you were weak as hell!"
Blues stared at him dryly, "You're forgetting that this time I'm getting chips from the kid." The black armored navi crossed his arms. "I think your operator is a little in over his head at the moment kid, you might aswell give in while you can!"
Enzan was closely worn out, he had taken so many attacks from Gail he could hardly stand on his feet. Blood dripped down from several wounds on his body, but he wasn't about to give up yet. 'There has to be a way to find his weak spot damnit...', his eyes scanned his surrounding. Gail, only scratched a bit smirked and picked up the steel pipe from the ground and walked towards Enzan threatening.
"Hehehe Wanna bet this'll hurt?", he laughingly brought out while lifting the pipe and pushing Enzan onto the floor with ease. "You're just a kid, you don't stand a chance to an adult, let alone I'm a trained adult!", he tapped the pipe to Enzan's right leg where the scarf was. The boy stared up at him not asking for mercy, but rather to actually hit him. Gail just smiled and started tapping it harder, just testing the boy's painlimits.
"What are you waiting for?!" Enzan suddenly shouted at him. Gail stared dirctly into his eyes. "I was waiting for you to say that hehehee...." He rose it and hit it fast and hard against his leg, making Enzan scream out of pain. The wound started bleeding again, heavily... Tears sprung up into the blue eyes, rolled down mingling with the blood on his face.
"Awww... you're crying did that hurt?", Gail teased. Enzan stared up at him and suddenly used his left leg to kick Gail's knee. He succeeded in bending it backwards, making Gail scream out to and fall back. Enzan rolled back and grabbed a gun, rose with a horrible stinging pain and pointed it at Gail's head. "NO MORE GAMES KIMADA!!!", he shouted while narrowing his eyes greatly.
Gail got up and leaned onto a chair getting his hands up a little. "Yeah yeah, the boy can actually threat quite well, I allready seen that, but you know... With you I wanted to see what'd hurt you most, and I know now. He pressed a button as doors opened and some soldiers ran in grabbing Netto and pulling out the wireless plugin port, breaking every contact with Rockman and Blues.
Enzan stared at the gun that was pressed roughly into the side of Netto's head while he was held hardhandedly. Netto stared at him with teared eyes. "Shoot him Enzan... just shoot him while you still can. You always were a better leader then me..." The younger boy's words struck his heart and he felt his breath become ragged and pointed the gun back at Gail in rage. "Let him GO AT ONCE!!", Enzan shouted on top of his lungs...
---------
Enzan tightened the grip on the gun and narrowed his eyes. "I'm NOT bluffing Gail I'm eager to shoot you through the head, and not just once, I'd rather shoot the entire LOAD INTO YOUR GODDAMNED HEAD!!". The way the boy suddenly spat out in true hatred and rage interested the redheaded leader. He smiled again. "Well boy, be my guest, shoot me in the head, but if you do your boyfriend dies aswell, but be honest... You'd rather have me out of your life, if the boy is dead, you're also the leader am I right?"
The bay gritted his teeth and almost started trembling out of pure anger. "Do you really THINK I CARE the LEAST about leadership... when I can lead a normal life?!!", he said trying to surpress his boiling hatred towards the man. Gail wasn't showing the least bit of his doubt he held towards Enzan, 'Why isn't he backing off, does he really want to play with his friend's life so dearly?!' "NOW LET HIM GO!", the boy screamed out again.
--------
Rockman and Blues, even though together were hopelessly outnumbered in power, now even cut off from an operator, Blues felt the same he felt when he was pinned down the first time. he only pushed Rockman back, he knew that if Rock was deleted fully, Netto'd die aswell, he simply had to sacrifice himself. "Rockman, get back, I'll try my last effort on him..." The blue navi stared at his crimson friend. "You gotta be kidding me Blues! You're NOT gonna sacrefice yourself for me!", he shouted in panic.
"I HAVE TO! If you get deleted that kid operator of you dies aswell, it's going to be this way if you want it or not!", his last words sounded as he dashed into the waiting Shadow... The Black navi stared at him dryly and only kicked him away, "So futile, by now you should KNOW that you're no competition at all, you're simply to weak kid!" A few Sword attacks easily cut down Blues to his last strength. He was helplessly defeated and soon to be deleted...
Shadow Stopped suddenly, the sword still at Blues' neck withdrew. 'It's that feeling again, something is wrong...', he stared around a bit frantically. Blues noticed the way Shadow acted suddenly but decided not to move untill he felt a powersurge aswell, something was heading their way in great speed too.. Rockman stared up as he suddenly saw a dark blast falling down behind Shadow causing him to be pushed away by the shockwaves.
After the smoke cleared from the grounds a dark Navi stood infront of the three. clad in a shredded cape, red eyes priming into the very existing of the Navi's. Shadow started to become more and more paniccing. "You're that Navi!! That mysterious Netnavi!!" The red eyes foccussed on Shadow, "How nice of you to remember me, I only remember you as a nuisance to the net..."
Rockman and Blues just stared at the two as Rockman pulled Blues on his feet letting him rest onto his shoulder. "Who're you?", Rockman's ever curious mind wanted to know. The dark navi stared at him for a second then back at Shadow. "I'm Forte.exe, just a roaming NetNavi that doesn't need or want an opperator, all I want is a quiet UNCONTROLLED net..."
Shadow gritted his teeth and charged his sword, "Well last time you just won because you sneaked up on me you asshole!". Forte stared at him dryly, "My my, rude words for such a little Navi, you have a lot to learn my unworthy opponent...", he said calmly and charged his buster and aimed it at the now truly scared Shadow Stalker.
"No way... This is unfair man!" Shadow screamed at him as he dropped his every attack he had. Forte just stared at him still holding the charged blast. "Give me one good reason not to kick your black ass", he said dryly. Shadow wanted to just log out, but without Gail's help he couldn't... Rockman walked forward. "Sir Forte, I don't think this Navi poses a threat as long as you are here.", Rock tried his best to keep cool in the situation.
Forte stared at him again. "Well young Navi, the problem is, I wont be staying here, so if you want him out of the way too, let me kill him and live.". Blues stared up at the mysterious Navi aswell. "Go ahead man, this navi has caused enough trouble!". The cloaked navi rose his head and brought back the power of his blast to just enough to get Shadow unconsious and fired it right at his chest. "Very well...", he said as he started to fire charged blasts at the barrier of the programme, it didn't take very long for it to break under the immense power, not long after that the programme blew up into pieces.

The lights fell out again. Gail startled and held his breath. 'Not again... please not again...'. Unfortunate for Gail his worst fear was true, Forte popped onto every computer screen possible, his bloodred eyes seeking contact with Gail's. The redhead felt tears brewing up in his eyes as his heart started beating in his throat.
'The ....Reploid... Baby.... you are... the baby I saw when I was 14, you are the one ... that was a model for the baby's design.... no...', Gail started thinking frantically as he suddenly heard two gunshots but kept looking at the screen. Forte.exe smirked demonically and showed the destroyed programme. Then jumped up and dissapeared from the screen.
Gail's attention flew away from his surroundings. 'Forte... he wasn't human, he was the backup plan, I can't let him... I wont let him. It couldn't be... did father want this to happen... was I only a pawn in his play, just a simple disposable human... I made a mistake, like he said, humans make mistakes... I will NOT fail...'. "I WILL NOT FAIL!!!" he hit the emergency powerlines as red light jumped on revealing Enzan helping Netto up.
Enzan startled and stared up as he heard alarms go off and stared at Gail closing in on them. "Now you two shall DIE and DIE hard!!", Gail's rage was boiling, he wanted them dead more then ever. Enzan slowly reached out for a gun but it was kicked away by Gail. The man suddenly grabbed the boy's collar and raised him upt to his full height. "No more SCREWING around!!", he shouted in his face as he threw him hard against an iron pipe, walked towards him and kicked him multiple times in his stomache and sides. "AND STAY THERE!!!".
Netto was nailed onto the ground from fear, but tried to get closer to Enzan untill he felt a cold point of a gun against his forehead. "NO way kid, you're not going ANYWHERE!", Gail screamed. Gail loaded the gun and pushed him backwards. "Stand up NOW!", he commanded him, "It's a lot more fun to just shoot you like in an execution! Don't worry, I rethought the idea, your boyfriend will join you shortly after you!"
The younger boy was speachless, tears ran from his eyes. "N-No...." , he could just stutter senselessly. Gail smirked. "Heheeh... this was pretty easy now wasn't it?! I Have you now, oh so great leader of the resistance Net, and after you Ijyuuin DIES" He fastened his grip on the gun and pointed it firmly at his head, then pulled the trigger...
Enzan was the one that pushed Netto away resulting the bullet to hit a pipe behind them, steam started flowing out. Gail gritted his teeth, "I thought I told you to STAY THERE!!", he screamed at Enzan who was trying to get up again stared at him and smiled faintly. "Not gonna get us..." He pointed the gun at Gail's heart and shot...
Gail noticed a little to late. He took the bullet to his heart and stared in front of him not believing what just happened, he was to far allready to really feel the pain, but in a last act of rage he aimed the gun at Netto's head once again and shot... The bullet was well on it's way this time...
Netto shielded his head with his arms as tears ran down. when he opened his eyes again he saw the bullet had hit Enzan instead, the older boy had taken the bullet into his chest and fell down to the floor bleeding. Netto stared at him with big eyes as the body fell to the floor, tears streamed down more. "ENZAN!!!!!", he cried out as he dropped onto his knees and let himself fall over the bleeding chest...
*FLASH*
The sounds in his head faded, he could hear people scream, but this time understanded why, he was hit, he could feel the pain but didn't really care anymore, Gail was dying anyway...
'So far away.... So far away'
*FLASH*
Gail lay on the cold floor, his eyes fixed on the screen he had seen his downfall before. "He knew... they all knew... They knew I was never the one to succeed" The always shrouded flashed of his past stared to lose their cloaks as he finnally saw what really happened in his past... "Father... My real father... abused me... calling me useless... I am useless.... I never succeeded... I'm beter off dead... anyway...", he softly murmered. He closed his teared eyes and sighed one last time as he waited for his body to give up the fight he had fought for only 24 years...
