Last Chapter: "Let the kids go." the navi demanded

Ch 2: Battles& Introductions

The navi holding Rikku captive gave an insane laugh that freaked Rikku out." Da HELL I will! If ya want this brat come 'n get 'er!"

The crimson navi growled. He had a weird sword like a light saber. But all the battle chips Lan, Chaud, and Rikku knew about didn't look anything like that. He took a step forward brandishing his green saber.

The navi holding Rikku tightened his grip and morphed his hand into an arm cannon.

The mounting annoyance building up in Rikku was about to explode.

'Quick think!,' but no thought cross her mind. 'Damn! You're an elite! You've been in this situation before think!!!' she begged herself. Rikku looked frantically around for some sort of weapon she can use. Until her eyes landed on a saber similar to the red navis.

'Great! Now for timing. I need something to distract him for 5 seconds.' She looked pleadingly at Chaud. Instantly he got the message. He also saw the saber on the waist of the navi, and knowing Rikku she could use it.

Chaud elbowed Lan. He indicated with his eyes to the saber then to Rikku. It took a moment until it clicked and Lan nodded.

The navi holding Rikku tightened his grip again glaring at the red navi.

Right then and there Chaud and Lan ran from their position towards the red navi. Chaud picked up a small piece of debris while running and threw it at the navi holding Rikku, face.

The grip loosened enough for Rikku to grab the saber, activate it and slashed it on the arm that was around her waist. The navi shouted in pain and let her go.

On instinct Rikku jumped back out of reach as the navi tried to grab her. She dashed forward aiming the tip of the saber to the stomach that had little protection. The saber pierced through the thin armor.

The navi nearly choked on his blood. Rikku yanked the saber out before the navi dropped to his knees. His hand over the gaping wound as sparks flew from the back.

Rikku was shocked. She knew if he was a navi he would be deleted but instead he was very much alive. But clearly sparks were appearing on his back, as if he was some sort of robot.

The crowd of navis were shocked. A 'kid' killed a maverick. A KID you just have to stress that word out. And SHE killed him like it was like squashing a bug. A human girl that was about 11 KILLED a maverick! Those words repeating over and over in the navi's heads. (This is 3rd person POV, but Rikku, Lan, and Chaud still don't know anything about reploids or mavericks.)

Rikku didn't have time to brood or think. A sudden noise brought Rikku back to reality. The ground near her exploded showering dust and pieces of concrete over her. That began a barrage of plasma being shot at her, creating a smoke screen.

'Wow they have horrible aim! Lucky me.' Rikku thought as she was showered by more dust. 'Here goes nothing.' she lowered her saber to her side and tightened her grip. Without anymore thought Rikku charged forward.

'So far so good! Almost there! Yay out!' Rikku thought happily.

"Shit!" she shouted barely saying it before a plasma shot fired aiming at her face. She dropped to the ground. And just then another shot was fired right next to her. She rolled to the left on her back and kicked her feet up and pushed herself off the ground landing on her feet.

'At least the martial Arts classes are comin' into use.' she thought as she charged forward to her attacker. But before she reached him a plasma shot hit him from the side. The red navi was the one who fired it.

The crimson navi rushed to her, his golden hair tailing him.

"You ok?," he didn't wait for an answer. "Get to some-" before he could finish the ground between them exploded. But not fast enough, giving them time to jump out of the way.

Rikku felt a hand grabbing her left wrist. She jerked her head towards the person, and brought her mid-night blue-lighted saber down aiming for the head of her opponent. But he blocked with his crimson colored saber.

"Enzan! Sorry! I didn't know!," Rikku apologized as she recognized it was Chaud. "Where's Lan?"

"I dunno. We got separated when we got some sabers." Chaud quickly said pulling Rikku behind some large pieced of what appeared to be a wall.

"We need to fine Lan!" Rikku said trying to keep her voice as calm as possible. The wall next to Chaud exploded. The two net battlers jumped out of the way. Chaud quickly brought his saber down slashing the navi that attacked them. The navi's blood sprayed onto the ground and he fell backwards choking on his own blood.

"We need to get to somewhere safe!" Chaud shouted over the noise of the battle. Screams, war cy, plasma shots were heard all over the place. In different areas smoke screens created by the plasma shots were covering the field. They were too thick to see through and it'll mean suicide if they rushed right in shouting for Lan.

Behind her, Rikku heard the scream of a plasma shot being fired at her. She quickly ducked as the plasma flew through the air. She turned around facing her assailant. With a war cry she ran towards the female navi that tried to kill her. The navi barded out a cruel laugh and fired more plasma at Rikku. Rikku dodged all the shots fired at her until she came into attacking range.

Rikku blocked her opponent's saber with her own. But the strength difference could be easily seen. The navi had body weight that could crush her as she lean on her saber more. Rikku quickly dropped to the ground on her back as some one fired plasma aiming at her head. But instead of hitting Rikku it hit her opponent right in the race blowing up her head. Rikku gulped as the body fell to it's knees and finally collapsing.

'That could've been me.' Rikku thought in shock. She felt a hand on her shoulder Rikku's reflexes kicked in, and she swung her saber around. Expecting the owner of the hand the person who fired at her.

"Whoa! Put it down it's me." Lan said backing away from the saber.

"Lan." Rikku's breath was fast and shallow. Lan holding an emerald green saber in his right hand.

"Rikku you ok?" Chaud said kneeling down.

"Da friggin' hell I know," Rikku frowned. " We need to jack out our navis."

While they had their little conversation a group of navis they saw that began the battle surrounded them. They had just realized this when the group of navis composed of 6 members attacked them. The net battlers new they were out numbered 1 to 2

Chaud quickly parried each attack his opponent made. Silently he was looking for an opening to attack.

Quietly another navi was sneaking up behind Chaud. He held his saber ready to stab Chaud threw the neck. He dug his feet into the ground and waited.

The navi Chaud was fighting smirked as he saw the navi behind Chaud. Some how Chaud got the feeling that he was surrounded. When his opponent lunged at him swinging his saber in a horizontal arch Chaud ducked and jumped right.

The navi behind him thrusted his saber expecting it to be embedded into Chaud but it was stabbed through his opponent. Blood trickled from his mouth, eyes widening as he fell down. The navi who stabed his saber growled in rage. Before he could yank the saber out of the corpse Chaud quickly beheaded him. The headless body exploded taking the other navi with it.

Lan charged forward and slashed across the navi's stomach before he could shoot a plasma shot at him. The navi made a fist with his right hand, his left hand clutching his wound, and punched Lan. Lan barely dodged but he felt a sharp pain at his side. Lan quickly rushed forward and stabbed his saber through the navi, not thinking of the pain. Only a shallow wound enough to knock him out but not kill.

"Lan!" Rikku shouted while blocking an attack from her opponent. Lan jerked his head around to see a plasma shot being fired towards him. Lan dodged in alarm but the plasma slightly singed his orange vest.

The navi charged towards Lan activating his saber. Lan parried the first blow and dodged the rest until suddenly the navi just fell forward a deep wound on his back. Chaud stood over the navi in an attack pose.

"Lil help Here!" Rikku shouted while dodging plasma blasts and sword blows. Chaud quickly took out the navi shooting plasma. And Rikku dodged another attack, ran behind her opponent and stabbed the navi through the neck.

"Pretty good," a voice behind the net battlers said. The trio jerked their attention to the red navi that spoke. "Why are you kids here?"

".......................Why do you wanna know?" Chaud answered/asked him.

"Look-" the red navi began but a blue navi stopped him. The blue navi was in different shades of blue and he looked like a bigger version of Mega Man

"Zero!," the blue navi scolded. "Let me introduce us. I'm Mega Man X and this is Zero."

"Mega Man?" Lan asked.

"What Lan?" Mega Man asked from the PET.

"Hey! How did you get back to the PET? I didn't jack you out."

"I dunno. One minute I'm there then here I am."

"................Um Who are you talking too?" X asked.

Rikku pushed Lan and introduced herself. "I'm Rikku and this is my net navi Tenchi." Rikku said pulling out her PET to show the X and Zero.

"Hiya! What's up ya'll?" Tenchi greeted from the PET.

"I'm Lan and this is my navi Mega Man." Lan said doing the same.

"Whoa X! They even name that thing after you. A very obsessive fan. Hey he even looks sorta like you." Zero said nodding his head.

Mega Man and Lan were silent. Rikku and Tenchi sweat dropped laughing nervously.

Chaud made no indication that he'll introduce himself so Rikku did it for him.

"And this is Chaud and Proto Man." Rikku grabbed Chaud's PET to show off Proto Man. She knew Enzan liked to be called Chaud in public. But she didn't see why people shouldn't call him Enzan.

"So why were you doin here?" X asked.

Rikku bit her bottom lip. "I rather not say here......"

Then Lets go to the HQ I'm sure Dr. Cain would be interested."

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

"YOU INCOMPETENT FOOLS!!!!! I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO START A BATTLE!!! AND I SAID TO TAKE THEM ALL ALIVE!!! I DON'T WANT THEM DEAD. THEY'LL BE USELESS TO ME DEAD! NEXT TIME DO AS I SAY!!!!" Sigma stressed. "Now where are they?"

"The Hunters took em sir."

Right then and there Sigma wanted to kill the maverick. The maverick was trembling so violently that he was about to collapse.

"Fine........... Jest keep an eye on all 3 of them. And what they do on the net." Sigma ordered the maverick. The maverick quickly walked out of the room. As he reached the door he tripped on his own feet and felt. He made a noise the sounded like a squeak and scampered away like a dog.

"What idiots................." Sigma sighed. 'Now I have to make another plan......Just my luck the damned Hunters show up.'

_*_*_*Maverick Hunter HQ*_*_*_

They entered what looked like some sort of computer room. A very old man and a navi the scarcely looked like Roll sat there.

"Hello. I'm Alia. And this is Dr. Cain." the pink navi Alia said.

"So now start talkin." Zero said annoyed. He didn't like kids, though Lan, Chaud, and Rikku weren't exactly children.

They took a seat waiting for the net battlers to start explaining.

"Well..............................um....................................... .ano...................................If I tell you guys. You'll think we're insane." Rikku finished lamely.

"Like you not?" Tenchi said from the PET.

"Shut Up! Who asked you?"

"you." the began an argument. Rikku and Tenchi were trading insults and faults of the other.

Lan and Mega Man sweat dropped. They knew that Rikku and Tenchi didn't mean what they're saying. It was like a hobby or a game to them.

"Shut up already!" Zero burst out.

"humph." Tenchi huffed.

"Irk! Fine! When we were at the park somein shot outta da pound, grabbed us, and dragged us to da outskirts of this place then when we went to town the navis attacked us then you show up then you know da story from there!" Rikku shouted barely drawing breath.

"Rikku." Lan nervously said.

"What?!" Rikku shouted irritable and glared at Lan.

"........Nothing."

So basically you're saying that you three aren't from around here..." Cain said.

"Duh! What have you been doin while I was tellin da damn story, you old geezer?!" Rikku snapped.

"Wha? Please you shouldn't yell. And you should respect your elders." Alia said.

Before Rikku had a shot at Alia, Dr. Cain started to chuckle.

"Quite a live one eh? Though I don't prefer the term old geezer it's all right."

"Fine! What ever you say gramps." Cain chuckled again.

"Phew!" Rikku breathed. She dropped onto the computer chair spinned it around. "Weeeeeeeeeeeee! Bein angry sure does sap the energy outta ya!" Rikku grinned.

"She's starting to scare me." X sweat dropping with Zero, Alia, Lan, and Mega Man.

"Don't be she's always like this." Tenchi grinned.

"Are you sure you guys aren't from round here?.......Wait navis? You called us navis?"

"Yuppie! They're like you and you guys are like navis......... ain't ya?"

"No.... We're Reploids. Basically a robot that has emotions and free will."

"Oh.... My bad!" Rikku laughed it off.

"What are navis?"

"Tenchi, Mega Man, and Proto Man are navis... They're.......like......I dunno... they Arghhhh! Why'm I da one ta explain! Tenchi you do this!"

"Well navis are like electronic personal assistants. We keep schedulable and not stuff like that. And we also net battle! The greatest thing a navi could do!"

"net Battle?"

"I'll show you! Rikku jack me in." Rikku jacked in Tenchi to the computer next to them.

"I'll upload some battle data from my latest net battle.

After few moments a clip played.

_*_*_*Clip (This is da battle in ch: 1)*_*_*_

Tenchi stood there waiting for an attack. Her opponent charged at her his fist raised to punch Tenchi in the face. Few inches away from Tenchi's nose she grabbed his fist, twisted his arm and slipped him. He landed next to Tenchi on his back with a loud thump.

"Cyber Sword, Battle ship in! Download!" his operator shouted. Tenchi's opponent's arm morphed into a sword. He lashed out aiming for Tenchi's legs. Tenchi jumped above the sword. She scrapped her feet around her opponent's neck. When she was about to land Tenchi's hand was placed on the ground and she pushed her legs forward throwing her opponent head first to the ground. Tenchi back flipped 3 times making a distance between them.

Shakily the navi struggled to get up. He was heavily wounded. His cyber sword program was canceled.

"Finish this!" Rikku yelled. Tenchi nodded.

Tenchi dashed forward in such speed that it seemed like she teleported, and kicked him on the chin. Forcing her opponent into the air in a semi-arch. Before he hit the ground the words 'Logging Out' appeared and dissolved along with the navi.

_*_*_*End of clip*_*_*_

"That's a net battle. Navi 'gainst Navi. The net ops could use program chips called Battle Chips to help their navi win battles, "Tenchi grinned. " Ooooooooooo Shiny!" Tenchi walked off towards a thing that glowed in the corner of the cyber room.

The sphere glowed sky blue as data streams went through it. Tenchi poked her head here and there examining it like a kid looking for which kind of candy to buy.

Proto Man frowned as he saw her behavior. 'She acts like a child...'

"What's dat ding?" Rikku asked Cain, showing him the scene on her PET.

"I'm guessin a data core or somein to store data." Tenchi said poking it. "Woooooo Lookie lookie! It glowed!" as Tenchi poked it again to show them. "Hmm? Rikku Your bleedin! Are you alright? Do you feel dizzy or anythin? Your shirt's socked!" Tenchi panicked. She began running around in alarm flailing her arms screaming help. (I know it's retarded. Read AN for reason of stupidness)

'Note, Reprogram Tenchi's child characteristics in free time.' Rikku thought amusedly watching Tenchi run around. Everyone thought the same thing more or less.

Rikku shook her head, remembering what her navi said. "I am?" she asked looking over at her arms and legs. She saw minor scratches from the battle.

"Your right hip. And Lan's left side. Enzan's unhurt...... How do you do that?" Tenchi said looking at the net battlers. Chaud shrugged.

Rikku poked her hip and moaned in pain. Tenchi began to panic again and kept on shouting, " Someone get a doctor!! Rikku's in pain!!"

Alia quickly lead them to the hospital wing. After a quick explanation to Life Saver he treated their wounds. Afterwards Alia lead them to their rooms.

Rikku jumped onto the bed and immediately fell asleep. Tenchi was screaming for Rikku to jack her into the internet but Rikku didn't hear her. After a minute she gave up.

Now she was thinking of how all this began and what to do to get them home.

Chaud sat on the bed with his red PET in hand. He and Prorto Man were discussing their next move, when Rikku showed up. She walked into Chaud's room with her eyes closed. She walked to Chaud and forced her PET into his hands.

"Sleep walking again?" Chaud sighed. Rikku nodded and walked towards the door. She bumped into it and said, "Who put the wall there?" she said sleepily and yawned. Chaud sighed and opened the door for her. Rikku walked out and bumped into the walls as she walked to her room.

Lan and Mega Man were conversing when it sounded like someone knocked on their door.

"Hello?" Lan said opening the door. Rikku entered his room with her eyes closed and fell on his bed face first. "Uhhh..... Rikku?"

"Night Night Lan." Rikku yawned and roll to he side.

"She's asleep?"

"Yea.... I think she's sleep walking." Mega Man said.

"I thought they walk like zombies and don't talk."

"No. They act like they usually act then they're sleepwalking. In the morning she wouldn't remember it."

"Uh, Mega Man where am I gonna sleep?"
