Ch 1: Beginnings

"Finish this!" a girl about 11 shouted. She had black rooted hair that slowly faded to light brown for the tips. She had emerald green eyes flecked with gold. And she was wearing a white baggy T-shirt with a thin blood red vest, blue baggy shorts, and white, gray, and black sneakers.

The girl was shouting to her navi. Many armors that navis wore cover all of their bodies except for their faces, but this navi showed skin and she didn't wear a helmet. Her armor was composed of a tight white tank top and black pants that was held by two loose belts around the waist. One belt had holsters carrying two short double edge swords on the back of the navi making a 'X' shape. The other belt had holsters on the sides carrying two guns that look like black hand guns. She had a red scarf tied on her upper left arm. She had on black finger less gloves and black boots. Instead of a helmet she wore a devise on her left ear. The navi had dark red hair with electric blue streaks and gray eyes.

The navi nodded. She dashed towards her opponent in such speed it appeared that she teleported and kicked her opponent in the chin. The kick sent him into the air making a semi arch. Before the navi hit the ground the words 'Logging Out' formed where the navi should've been and dissolved along with the navi.

"Good job, Tenchi." the girl said to her navi.

The crowd that had gathered for the battle was confused by the short time it took, which lasted under a minute. But they began to cheer for the victor.

The winner of the battle made her way through the crowd with her PET in hand.

"Ms. Fiori can I have your autograph?" a little boy asked the girl. She peered down at him with an annoyed glare but she reasoned with herself if she just do it she could meet up with Enzan.

"Fine." she signed a book that the little boy gave her and went to the entrance of the arcade.

"That was amusing Rikku." a voice in the corner said. It came from a boy that had white and black hair with blue eyes. He wore a black shirt with a red vest, and camouflage pants.

"If you say so Enzan." Rikku smiled at her friend.

"Why didn't you just finish the battle in the beginning?" Chaud asked. He was usually addressed by his last name, but after years of knowing Rikku it was useless to change her mind. He already knew the answer but asked it anyway.

" I didn't want to go that hard on the kid. You can tell he just got his navi and I don't want to hurt him to badly. He night grow up to be a great net battler and I don't want to break his spirit." Rikku said as they walked to the ice-cream shop.

"Your to soft sometimes," Chaud said with a frown. "It'll lead to your defeat one of these days."

"There's no such thing as a sure thing. Now lets eat ice-cream!!" Rikku shouted with a huge grin.

"Just make sure she doesn't have to much sugar Enzan." Tenchi said from the PET. It was in the holster of a belt on Rikku's blue shorts.

"Humph! Your no fun!" Rikku huffed. And the routine argument began.

"Stop!" Proto Man shouted from Chaud's PET. He usually stayed out of Rikku and Tenchi's argument but today it got on his nerves to the extent of him shouting. The girls gave a humph as they entered the ice-cream parlor.

"I'll check for updates." Tenchi said as Rikku began to eat her ice cream. Tenchi left to a fan fiction site.

_*_*_*Lan's view*_*_*_

Lan saw Rikku's battle and was very impressed by it.

"Who is she?" Lan asked Mega Man, his navi.

"Rikku Fiori. She's famous for winning the War of The Elite. It's a tournament held every 3 years. You have to have 300 wins, 0 loses, and have entered sub tournaments and won. Then you have to pass 'really' hard tests to qualify. They reason its called War of The Elite is because the only way you can enter is if you are an elite net battler."

"Wow! And she won?"

"Yup, 3 time winner. She's consider the top net battler of our generation."

"No way!"

"It's true though."

Lan looked amazed. He snapped out of his trance when he saw Rikku talking to Chaud.

_*_*_*Rikku's view*_*_*_

"I'll e-mail you tonight. I've got this great link to a site I know you'll like," Rikku said as they exited the ice-cream parlor. "See ya!"

Chaud nodded and left for home. Rikku decided it was to early to go home and Chaud was going to take her to a concert as a late birthday gift. She had her birthday during the War of The Elite and had a small party where the tournament was held. So she decided to go to the park.

Along her way she saw a boy about her age. He wore a white shirt and an orange vest. His shorts were black and his sneakers were orange, black, and white. Around his head was a blue bandanna with his navi's symbol on it. He had brown hair and eyes.

"Hello," Rikku greeted the near by boy. "I saw you at my match. My name's Rikku Fiori and my navi's Tenchi!"

"I know who you are. I'm Lan Hikari and this is Mega Man."

"Lan.......... Mega Man...." she heard those names before, but where. "I remember. You fought against World 3 coupla times! You have a quite a reputation! Enzan told me about you."

"Enzan?" Lan asked in confusion.

"Chaud. Enzan's his first name."

"Oh... Where are you goin now?"

"To the park. Wanna join me?"

"Sure!"

The walked towards the park in silence. Finally they reached the entrance to the park.

"C'mon. I know a great spot." Rikku grabbed Lan's hand and led him to a secluded spot in the park. "I come here with Enzan all the time. It's really pretty don't you think?"

That spot was surrounded by trees and in the middle of the clearing was a small lily pond. It was quite pleasant to look at, like a painting of sorts.

"Are you dating Chaud?" Lan blurted out while surveying the spot.

"Lan! You shouldn't ask that! Their personal lives are non of our business!" Mega Man shouted. That began an argument.

"Gee, is that how we look like when we argue?" Rikku asked Tenchi sweat dropping.

"Pretty much." Chaud answered before Tenchi.

"Enzan, I thought you went home."

"The concert's gonna start in an hour or so." Rikku nodded. She usually forgets stuff, another reason of having a navi.

"Lan... Hey Lan! I'm not. Enzan's my best friend. But I don't know what'll happen in the future." Rikku answered Lan.

"I never knew Chaud could make friends." Lan grumbled under his breath.

"Lan! You shouldn't say that kind of stuff to others!" Mega Man said irritably.

"But...." Lan was cut of.

Before they could say anything else tentacles spurted from the water and grabbed the 3 net battlers. The tentacles dragged them down into the pond. The surprising thing was that it seemed the pond had no end. Rikku and Lan were panicking, but Chaud was clam. He was caught by surprise and the grip of the tentacles gave him no room to move.

Rikku tried to shout but her voice was drowned by water. Her eyes widen in fear. 'No! No! No! This can't happen! This can't!! Let me GO!!!!!! I don't want to be here!!!! Let me go!!!' she screamed in her mind. She began to panic even more struggling with the tentacle's tight grip.

'Can't... Can't............. Please let me go... I don't want to be here........... Enzan please help me..................' was here last thought before she passed out.

"Rikku!" Lan tried to shout. But like Rikku his voice was drowned in the water. 'This isn't good! Mega Man DO something!' Lan thought desperately. He heard Tenchi's voice shouted for her operator to wake up but it was no use. Mega Man was panicking too, but he couldn't come up with suggestion for Lan that would've helped.

'Can't breathe... Air....................... I can't give up! Not just yet! Think Lan THINK!!!' Lan shouted in his mind. When suddenly an idea came into mind. Before he could act the head rush of being pulled that fast caught up with him. He tried to tell Chaud what to do but he slowly slipped into un-consciousness.

'Oh freakin great! Rikku and Lan are out, so that leaves me to get us out of here!' Chaud thought for a minute. He got nothing that would've helped. And the idea that would've had a shout of getting them out of the mess involved all of them and one person wouldn't be enough.

'What?' Chaud thought in alarm. They were being pulled faster than ever giving him no time to think. The head rush was getting to him. His last thoughts were about the girl next to him. He looked at Rikku's un- conscience face before he was taken into the un-consciousness

_*_*_*Maverick Base*_*_*_

"What do you mean you lost them?!!" Sigma shouted in anger. After going through so much trouble of bringing them here he wanted everything to run smoothly. But somehow they disappeared off the radar.

"Their signal disappeared when they got to the gate, sir." A voice through a communicator said.

"Then why are you just sittin there?!! Look for them! Send an unit! I don't care just bring them back to me alive," Sigma shouted louder than ever a vain popped out of his head while he screamed out the commands. "I didn't go through all that trouble to loose them! So find them!!!"

"Yes, sir." the maverick said and terminated the connection.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Sigma growled. He rubbed his temple to try and get rid of a head ache.

'How could this have happen? After all the trouble to get those brats here, this has to happen. The only way this could get worse is if those blasted Hunters found them first.' Sigma angrily thought. The problem is if you say it could be worse it usually does.

_*_*_*Lan's, Chaud's, and Rikku's view*_*_*_

Rikku woke up first. She trembled slightly thinking she was back in the water......... She never told anyone but she was afraid of the dark. When they were being dragged into the pond the deeper they went the darker it got. She wasn't always like this though, not until.......... But the point was not Chaud or even Tenchi knew about it. She wanted it to be kept a secret.

"Tenchi? Tenchi? Where are you?" she called. Rikku just realized that her PET was missing from her belt.

"Here!" Tenchi shouted few feet away.

"Lan, Enzan wake up!!" Rikku nervously said. She walked to each boy and shook him awake. Rikku walked over to the PETs and picked them up.

"Mega Man you ok?"

"I think so..."

"How bout you Proto?"

"Fine."

"That's a relief," Rikku walked to the boys. Lan was confused of how his PET wasn't with him. Chaud just looked away. "Here you PETs guys." she gave them back their PETs.

"Tenchi can you check for a map or something that'll tell us where the hell are we?" Rikku asked her navi.

"Go with her Proto Man." instructed Chaud.

"What do we do now?" Lan asked no one in particular. He was looking at their surrounding with curiosity seemed the place was deserted

"I say we should go into town. It'll let us get a clue where we are," Rikku suggested. They nodded in agreement. The nearest city from what they saw was one fourth of a mile away, so they better get a start.

Just before they reached the entrance to the city Tenchi and Proto Man returned with a map. It turns out that they were in one of the Mega Cities. Which they had never heard of. The city they were entering was Mega City 5. They still didn't know where they were but at least they know they're in Mega City 5.

The trio slowly walked into town. They decided to find someplace where they wouldn't be over heard. They entered what seem to be a shopping center.

"We should jack our navis in. Search for more information on where we are ok?" Rikku said. The 3 net battlers jacked into the Mega City 5's matrix by telephones they saw in a corner. They sat down on the edge of a beautifully carved water fountain, pondering on their next move.

Chaud and Lan didn't talk much. Rikku guessed that the only reason why they didn't split up was because of her. The silence was getting on her nerves until she finally lost it.

"That's it! If we're in this together you guys have to call a truce! We need to be a team! You guys can tear each other limb from limb when we get home, Ok?!!," Rikku shouted. It attracted few stares from the passerby's. The two boys mumbled their agreement. "Now shake hands." Lan shook Chaud's hand reluctantly. "Geez you guys act like babies."

Suddenly an explosion blew up a store near them. People began to scream and run in terror.

"What da?!!" Lan shouted in alarm. The three net battlers ran back to the telephones, which thankfully where unharmed, called their navis and jacked them out.

"Wait! Check the matrix for viruses!" Rikku shouted to Tenchi before she logged out. 'Maybe a pipe blew or something....... Maybe the Mega City 5's matrix is being under attack by viruses.' Rikku reasoned with herself.

Lan hit his head. 'Why didn't I do that?' "Mega Man go and destroy any viruses you see."

"You too Proto Man." Chaud said as he saw life size navis in real armor approaching them. They held out what seemed to be arm cannons aiming at them.

"Move it!!" Chaud shouted pulling Rikku and Lan behind the fountain. Half of it exploded, debris fell down and the water pipes supplying the water sprayed everywhere.

One of those life size navis appeared behind them and grabbed Rikku. Rikku didn't scream, she was obviously afraid but not to the extent of screaming for mercy. She face allot more complicated situation but Tenchi was the one in them.

The heard more shots being fired but it didn't come from their assailants but another batch of navis The one that was visible had long golden hair reaching to his feet. His armor was red and white coloration. On his chest plate was two green spheres.

"Let the kids go." the navi demanded.
