Chapter 2 - The Integrate Program
"Have you got a lock on him?" Sirius asked, hovering over Hasara.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry... Got him! Undernet, area... 2, I believe. Our scanners aren't that perfect, you know..." Hasara muttered.
"Very well, thank you..." Sirius turned and walked off.
* * * * *
At another time, in an underground office, Jezin stood in front of a viewscreen in the net. "I'm awaiting your report, Tenka..."
A young man on the screen wearing a ragged vest and jeans in the Underworld was deep inside a dark region of the net. "Yes, sir. As I've been able to discover, time passes differently here in the Undernet. It takes a year of lasting in the Undernet to equal a day in the real world. It took a LOT to figure that out, but I know for certain now. Meaning that if somebody wanted to train for years, they could be gone for a few days. 'Course, it would cost them a few years of their life, if not their life..."
"Explain furthur..."
"As it seems, if your Cyberbody becomes so weak that it would normally be force logged-out in the normal net, here, bruises and harm effects both halves of your body - the real one, and the cyberbody, eventually causing death... Oh, and by using what was previously stated about the time difference, that's why Viri have evolved to become so strong out here..."
"Thank you, Tenka..." Jezin looked at the man, and was about to close the window, when...
"Comeon, daddy!" a voice called just offscreen.
"Daddy, eh?" Jezin's eyes snapped open. "Tenka, explain..."
"I found him, a kid, on the Undernet..." Tenka looked a bit nervous.
"And you did not report? You kept a possible enemy alive?"
"I'm not completely corrupt..." Tenka muttered, as the kid walked onto the screen. He had long blue hair, and a dark outfit covering him. "This kid needed somebody to protect him, he's an orphan..."
"Tenka, that kid is a weakness to you..."
"I won't get rid of him, he's way too young..."
"Then take him back out of the net!"
"I can't, sir, he doesn't seem to be..."
"I don't care! Are you questioning me?" Jezin growled.
"N-no, sir! Absolutly not!"
"Treason, I say... And do you know the punishment for treason?" Jezin smiled menacingly.
"Yes, I... I do..." Tenka gulped, and looked down at his 'son'. "Goodbye, Marius..."
"Daddy?" Marius looked up at him, a strange look in his eyes.
"The punishment is deletion... And in the case of where you are, death..." Jezin smiled. "Activate deletion program..."
Tenka started to scream, as his feet slowly dissapeared, just as if he were a navi being deleted. Jezin smiled. "And your son will be next... I will see personally to that..."
"No, leave the kid out of thi... ARGH!" Tenka shouted out, as he dissapeared.
"D... Daddy? Daddy!?" Marius called out, frantically.
Jezin whipped out his Cyberband. "As I said, I will see personally to make sure your son is not as careless as you..."
* * * * *
Miyuu walked through one of ACDC town's parks. These placess were beautiful, no doubting it. She stopped for a moment, it was getting late.
"Miyuu!"
Miyuu turned, to see a young man coming up to her. "Oh, hey Ryuu..."
"You seem worried..." Seitamashii noticed pretty quick. "Is something wrong?"
"N... No... Well, kinda... I just wonder... I think I might be in danger..." Miyuu muttered.
"I'll protect you, don't worry..." Seita moved up to face her.
"T... Thanks..." Miyuu smiled. "You promise?"
"I promise..."
"Oh, thank you..." Miyuu hugged onto Seitamashii.
Suddenly, there was a ringing sound. Miyuu pulled back from Seitamashii, and opened up her cellphone.
An e-mail message was on the screen.
From -Sirius To -Joseph, Miyuu, Seitamashii, Kinzoku, Andy, Gregario Subject -Of the utmost priority ~Please meet me at the entrance to Yoka Yoka Net. Within the next half hour or not. I hastily await your response. Seeing as how you have seen the start, I suggest you see this through to the end...
"You get one too?" Miyuu asked.
"Yeah," Seitamashii admitted. In his mind, he was slightly cursing.
* * * * *
Quickly, the six were gathered at the entrance to Yoka Yoka, where Sirius was waiting. Others seemed to go past him as if he was invisible. This was quite a good thing, Sirius probably could have easily been distracted should somebody see him.
"Nice to see you..." Sirius smiled. "Now, if you're wondering why I've called you, it's because of Dynast... I think a bit of help might help me a bit..."
Joseph was ecstatic. "Of course I'll help, Sirius!" Joseph smiled, secretly thinking "oh, this is a dream come true!"
Sirius smiled again. "Okay, let's go..." A portal opened up behind him.
"Where does that go?" Kinzoku asked.
"Undernet..."
"What!?" Everybody shouted.
Andy was making unintelligable sounds. "B-b-b-but... Th.... The undernet!?!"
"Just comeon!" Sirius stepped backwards into the portal.
"I'm coming!" Joseph ran into the portal.
Kinzoku and Ryuu shrugged and walked through, followed by Andy, Miyuu, and Gregario.
* * * * *
The group emerged in Undernet 2. Gregario looked around. "Oh, we're not that high up..."
"You've been here?" Sirius' eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, actually... A few times..." Gregario looked back. "This is the second floor, am I correct?"
"Yeah, with the power source at the very top..." Sirius nodded. "Comeon, we have to find him..."
* * * * *
At another part of that same floor of the Undernet, Jezin was looking around. "Where'd the kid go... I meant to take care of him personally. Damn..."
Jezin saw a tuft of blue hair poking out from behind a Datacube. He moved around, and the hair moved out from behind.
Standing under it was a tall warrior in robes and armor.
"Dynast..." Jezin smiled. "Nice to see you, this is turning out to be a good day afterall..."
"Not exactly..." Dynast's eye twitched. "Why were you searching for me?"
"He... Because of this..." Jezin reached behind him, and whispered. "Integrate..."
Suddenly, Jezin threw a strange ball at Dynast. Dynast's eyes opened in shock, before the ball collided with him and dissapeared.
"He..." Jezin walked over and picked it up. "You in there?" he tapped the side as if it was glass.
Dynast's face appeared. "Damn you, you sonova bitch!"
Jezin smiled. "Thank you..."
"Comeon, we have to find him..."
Jezin looked around, and saw the small group with Sirius at the head. "Ah, what perfect timing, I can give this a try..."
Jezin grabbed onto the orb, and held it in front of him. "Hey, Sirius, I think I've got what you're looking for..."
Sirius turned, followed by the others, to look at Jezin. "What are you talking about?"
"This..." Jezin held up the small ball. "Is now under my command... And how I intend to remove my rival once and for all!"
Dynast's face appeared in the orb. "Jezin, if it kills him, then I'll do it..."
Jezin held out the small orb farther, and slammed it into his chest, shouting "Integrate!!!"
* * * * *
Much higher up in the Undernet, Dreamer collapsed. His body was awash with cuts and tears, his blood flowing freely on the ground. A tall man in a cloak was standing over him.
"Dreamer, just keep trying..."
Dreamer smiled faintly, as he rolled over. His face had aged a few years. "Yeah, I know, sensei..." Dreamer sat up, as the wounds healed themselves quickly.
The sensei dissapeared, and Dreamer pulled himself into a meditating position. He began to breath deeply.
Dreamer's mind slowly seemed to float out... Dissapearing, floating...
Then he saw it...
Dreamer's eyes snapped open, and he stood up. "Sensei, I saw it, I have to leave now!"
The sensei reappeared. "I knew it would come, a time to test you..."
* * * * *
There was a brilliant flash, nearly lighting up all of that floor of the Undernet, and when it cleared, Jezin was standing, Dynast's armor over the top half of his body, and Jezin's purple hair was now tinted blue.
"Die, Sirius!" Jezin dashed at Sirius, who jumped backwards. Jezin's voice was a combination of that of his own, and that of Dynast.
"What's going on?" Joseph wondered. "Is he...?"
"From what I can tell, by my teaching... Jezin and Dynast are... one person!" Seitamashii gulped.
"Oh, CRAP!" Gregario shouted, as Jezin continued to make strikes at Sirius.
One strike hit it's mark, sending Sirius reeling, his chest heavily bruised with only a single punch. Sirius rolled a bit, before stopping and standing up, albeit a bit slowly.
"You... I intend on stopping you here..." Jezin smiled. "No more ONBA top official..."
"Jezin..." Sirius looked up. "Don't do it..."
"No, I'll finish you here!" Jezin smiled, as he held out an empty hilt. Suddenly, a large blade of darkness shot from the hilt. "Die!"
Sirius yelled fiercly, and Jezin stopped.
"Leave Sirius Alone!" Joseph growled, holding up the Great Cannon in his hands.
"Oh, you want to play, do you...?" Jezin turned, and held out on hand. "Magnum Giga..."
A huge burst of fire shot along the ground, tearing towards the group and leaving a trail of panels around it, splitting the group in two.
"Now, Dark Rise!"
Chains of darkness shot out of the empty floor, grabbing onto everybody and wrapping them up, the chains cutting into everybody's body, as if they were made of diamond.
"It... hurts..." Andy muttered, trying to force his way out of it, only to find that it hurt more.
"He, you're all fools..." Jezin laughed, before turning back to Sirius. Sirius was backed up a bit. "Hey, no running... Black Vine!"
Black Vines shot along the ground, wrapping around Sirius. Sirius couldn't move, the thorns were drawing blood...
Black vines, drawing blood from his forehead... Just like Dynast...
Jezin raished the sword to Sirius' throat. "It ends here..."
"No, it doesn't..."
Jezin turned, to see Dreamer standing behind him, a long Ninjato (Ninja sword) in his hand, his bangs covering his right eye. "Comeon... Let's rock..."
"Fool, to challenge me..." Jezin laughed, as he opened up his empty hand, and grasped several kunai. "Kunai Ace, Deuce, Triplex!" he threw them.
They stuck into Dreamer, a couple in his chest, one in his right bicep, one in his cheek, but they didn't hurt that much. Blood came out of Dreamer's mouth.
"Is that all? Please..." Dreamer smiled, dashing for Jezin.
"Is that all? I can give you more..." Jezin raised the sword. Dreamer dashed down, under the blade, to the side, and brought the Ninjato around to Jezin's head.
"Nice try!" Jezin ducked down, twisted, came back up under the sword, and pierced his own weapon into Dreamer's chest.
Dreamer shouted, his eyes wide with something like fear.
"Dreamer!" Andy freed his hands, loaded up a Giga Cannon, and fired it straight at Jezin.
"You fool!" Jezin swung the blade around, and Dreamer came with it, the attack slamming into him, and the crack of his shoulderblade and spine shattering was obvious.
"Dre... Dreamer..." Joseph cried out. "No, this can't be happening..."
Dreamer's body slid off of the sword, dead on the ground, a pool of blood forming.
"No, actually, it isn't happening..."
A sharp fist slammed into Jezin's back, sending him flying onto Dreamer's body. Behind him stood...
"What? I'm seeing double..." Gregario blinked and relooked. "No, that can't be real..."
"Dreamer!" Miyuu shouted.
"Did you like my Doppleganger?" Dreamer smiled. "Comeon..."
"I'll have your hide for this..." Jezin swung the blade at Dreamer.
Dreamer was suddenly behind Jezin, his foot kicking backwards into Jezin. Dreamer cleared his mind, and he felt his body lightening. His movements were fast, even for the super-powered Jezin.
The chains of darkness broke, and the vines disssapeared, as Dreamer smashed a final blow at Jezin's chest, sending him flying. The armor of Dynast dissapeared, forming into a small orb and rolling to Sirius' feet.
"I'll take this!" Sirius smiled, grabbing it. "But Dreamer... I thought you had dissapeared..."
"I did..." Dreamer smiled. "Nor am I to be back yet, I still do not have them..."
Suddenly, a burst of digital wind made Dreamer's bangs fly up, revealing a socket covered in scars, mixed with blood and data, something incredibly grotesque that was marked with an X-shaped scar.
Miyuu caught herself trying to hurl. "I can't do that, he'd think I'm rude..."
"My sensei gave me this... Masamune and Murasame..." Dreamer pointed to each half of the X as he said this.
"What?" Ryuu muttered. "Aren't those the two Blades of Revenge... The other being..."
"Muramasa..." Dreamer nodded. "I intend on getting them..."
Dreamer suddenly smiled, as another figure, in the cloak, appeared behind him.
"A navi!" Kinzoku realized fast.
"Coming, Dreamer?"
"Yes, Shadowman..." Dreamer nodded, as the two dissapeared.
"S... Shadowman!?" Ryuu nearly fainted. Andy did.
Sirius blinked. "Thank you guys either way... I needed your help... If you guys hadn't helped, I may very well be... dead..."
Miyuu sighed. "No problem... But where is Joseph?"
Joseph was wandering around. "Now, which way is out again...?"
* * * * *
"Kisato? Kisato???" Hasara opened up Kisato's office.
There he was, his body flat over his desk, a small black crimson stain on his back.
Hasara looked blankly at Kisato's body for a moment, before it hit her.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
* * * * *
Dreamer reappeared in a shrine at the very top of the Undernet. He looked over to the floor on the far end.
A young boy was sleeping there. His shirt was torn at the sleeves, his shorts stained with digital grass stains, a headband with the Grausherra Symbol upon his head, under purple hair.
"He... Seinajii looks so peaceful... He does not need to know he has a lost brother..." Dreamer sighed.
"Eh?" Seinjaii slowly sat up. "What was that?"
"Nothing" Dreamer sighed again. "You okay?"
"Yeah..." Seinjaii smiled. "You know, dad..."
"Yeah?"
"Whenever I look at you while you're training, I see a demon... Your vengeance blurs your image in my mind... Makes you appear black with hatred..."
Dreamer's eyebrow lifted. He wondered about Seinjaii.
"And yet, when you look at me, and your mind is clear, I see a holy angel... A person who is not worried about the world around them... And who's mind is aflair with the thoughts of just the love of a father and son..."
"And I'm just wondering, father, which one are you?" Seinjaii asked, something like innocence and curiousity in his eyes. He was short, yes, only about 2/3rds of Dreamer's height.
"I myself am not sure..." Dreamer smiled.
* * * * *
In a small conference room, 14 figures were seated. Jezin stood up. "Listen, our top priorities are as follows. One, we must find out who those people are that were fighting. I suspect we invite them to the tournament..."
There was a general agreement.
"Two, we must recover Dynast..."
Another agreement.
"And three, we must make sure that this Tournament is a sucess..."
"The rosters will be full, I am sure..." Kevin nodded. "You should already know..."
"Yes, we've taken care in our picks... We did manage to do as you instructed, adding the fighters to the tournament..." a young woman in a beautiful crystal-like blue dress stood up. This was Fiegmund, one of the head Rogues under Jezin.
"And four?" Aim was sitting at the other end.
"Four?"
"I know there's something about Tenka, who you took care of so suddenly..."
There was a murmur. One of the people, next to Fiegmund, stood. His face brutish, but wise. "Excuse me? Was not Tenka under the orders of Lightgazer?"
Lightgazer, who was a handsome young man in the group, didn't bother to stand. "I gave control of him to Jezin upon his request..."
"What is it about Tenka, anyway, that made you remove him?" Aim asked. "We gained valuable information..."
"That boy..." Jezin growled. "The blue-haired boy he had with him... The one who called him father..."
"And you destroyed him because of that?" Riesz was standing now, something mean across her face.
"What, you doubt my judgement?"
"Hold your tounge, darling..." Hawk muttered, and Riesz sat down. Her face was still very mad.
"But why?" Carlie asked. "Please, explain..."
"I do not need to explain... This kid... He seemed so familiar..."
"Explain!" Carlie stood up suddenly. "Please, sir, if I may say so, your actions of recent seem unreasonable..."
"Carlie, stop this insolence..." Jezin growled, his eyes flashing black. Carlie sat back down quickly. "I do not need to explain. I need proof that child is gone, I know..."
"You know what?" Lightgazer asked.
"That he will cause many problems in the future, that is all you need to know..."
Jezin walked out of the room without another word. He whipped out his Cyberband and opened up a video link.
"You are Renon, aren't you?" Jezin asked into it, to a man who was carrying a briefcase.
"Yes, of course I am. Oh, sir Jezin! Do you wish something?"
"No, not right now. Renon, I know you have a 'web' that I could use at this time more then anything. I need you to find two children..."
"Two children? There's indefinately many catches here..."
"Right. One, they're in the Undernet. Two, they may be dead, in which case, I want proof that they are gone. Three, they are data, you must try to Log them out, and it will destroy them. Four, they are the sons of Dreamer. They are not to be underestimated. I want them gone!"
Renon blinked. "And their names?"
"Marius and Seinjaii Grausherra"

At another time, in an underground office, Jezin stood in front of a viewscreen in the net. "I'm awaiting your report, Tenka..."

Miyuu walked through one of ACDC town's parks. These placess were beautiful, no doubting it. She stopped for a moment, it was getting late.
"Miyuu!"
Miyuu turned, to see a young man coming up to her. "Oh, hey Ryuu..."
"You seem worried..." Seitamashii noticed pretty quick. "Is something wrong?"

"Just comeon!" Sirius stepped backwards into the portal.
"I'm coming!" Joseph ran into the portal.

"Dynast..." Jezin smiled. "Nice to see you, this is turning out to be a good day afterall..."
"Not exactly..." Dynast's eye twitched. "Why were you searching for me?"
"He... Because of this..." Jezin reached behind him, and whispered. "Integrate..."

"I'll take this!" Sirius smiled, grabbing it. "But Dreamer... I thought you had dissapeared..."
"I did..." Dreamer smiled. "Nor am I to be back yet, I still do not have them..."
Suddenly, a burst of digital wind made Dreamer's bangs fly up, revealing a socket covered in scars, mixed with blood and data, something incredibly grotesque that was marked with an X-shaped scar.
Miyuu caught herself trying to hurl. "I can't do that, he'd think I'm rude..."
"My sensei gave me this... Masamune and Murasame..." Dreamer pointed to each half of the X as he said this.
"What?" Ryuu muttered. "Aren't those the two Blades of Revenge... The other being..."
"Muramasa..." Dreamer nodded. "I intend on getting them..."
Dreamer suddenly smiled, as another figure, in the cloak, appeared behind him.
"A navi!" Kinzoku realized fast.
"Coming, Dreamer?"
"Yes, Shadowman..." Dreamer nodded, as the two dissapeared.
"S... Shadowman!?" Ryuu nearly fainted. Andy did.
Sirius blinked. "Thank you guys either way... I needed your help... If you guys hadn't helped, I may very well be... dead..."
Miyuu sighed. "No problem... But where is Joseph?"
Joseph was wandering around. "Now, which way is out again...?"

"Kisato? Kisato???" Hasara opened up Kisato's office.
There he was, his body flat over his desk, a small black crimson stain on his back.
Hasara looked blankly at Kisato's body for a moment, before it hit her.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Dreamer reappeared in a shrine at the very top of the Undernet. He looked over to the floor on the far end.
A young boy was sleeping there. His shirt was torn at the sleeves, his shorts stained with digital grass stains, a headband with the Grausherra Symbol upon his head, under purple hair.
"He... Seinajii looks so peaceful... He does not need to know he has a lost brother..." Dreamer sighed.
"Eh?" Seinjaii slowly sat up. "What was that?"
"Nothing" Dreamer sighed again. "You okay?"
"Yeah..." Seinjaii smiled. "You know, dad..."
"Yeah?"
"Whenever I look at you while you're training, I see a demon... Your vengeance blurs your image in my mind... Makes you appear black with hatred..."
Dreamer's eyebrow lifted. He wondered about Seinjaii.
"And yet, when you look at me, and your mind is clear, I see a holy angel... A person who is not worried about the world around them... And who's mind is aflair with the thoughts of just the love of a father and son..."
"And I'm just wondering, father, which one are you?" Seinjaii asked, something like innocence and curiousity in his eyes. He was short, yes, only about 2/3rds of Dreamer's height.
"I myself am not sure..." Dreamer smiled.

In a small conference room, 14 figures were seated. Jezin stood up. "Listen, our top priorities are as follows. One, we must find out who those people are that were fighting. I suspect we invite them to the tournament..."
There was a general agreement.
"Two, we must recover Dynast..."
Another agreement.
"And three, we must make sure that this Tournament is a sucess..."
"The rosters will be full, I am sure..." Kevin nodded. "You should already know..."
"Yes, we've taken care in our picks... We did manage to do as you instructed, adding the fighters to the tournament..." a young woman in a beautiful crystal-like blue dress stood up. This was Fiegmund, one of the head Rogues under Jezin.
"And four?" Aim was sitting at the other end.
"Four?"
"I know there's something about Tenka, who you took care of so suddenly..."
There was a murmur. One of the people, next to Fiegmund, stood. His face brutish, but wise. "Excuse me? Was not Tenka under the orders of Lightgazer?"
Lightgazer, who was a handsome young man in the group, didn't bother to stand. "I gave control of him to Jezin upon his request..."
"What is it about Tenka, anyway, that made you remove him?" Aim asked. "We gained valuable information..."
"That boy..." Jezin growled. "The blue-haired boy he had with him... The one who called him father..."
"And you destroyed him because of that?" Riesz was standing now, something mean across her face.
"What, you doubt my judgement?"
"Hold your tounge, darling..." Hawk muttered, and Riesz sat down. Her face was still very mad.
"But why?" Carlie asked. "Please, explain..."
"I do not need to explain... This kid... He seemed so familiar..."
"Explain!" Carlie stood up suddenly. "Please, sir, if I may say so, your actions of recent seem unreasonable..."
"Carlie, stop this insolence..." Jezin growled, his eyes flashing black. Carlie sat back down quickly. "I do not need to explain. I need proof that child is gone, I know..."
"You know what?" Lightgazer asked.
"That he will cause many problems in the future, that is all you need to know..."
Jezin walked out of the room without another word. He whipped out his Cyberband and opened up a video link.
"You are Renon, aren't you?" Jezin asked into it, to a man who was carrying a briefcase.
"Yes, of course I am. Oh, sir Jezin! Do you wish something?"
"No, not right now. Renon, I know you have a 'web' that I could use at this time more then anything. I need you to find two children..."
"Two children? There's indefinately many catches here..."
"Right. One, they're in the Undernet. Two, they may be dead, in which case, I want proof that they are gone. Three, they are data, you must try to Log them out, and it will destroy them. Four, they are the sons of Dreamer. They are not to be underestimated. I want them gone!"
Renon blinked. "And their names?"
"Marius and Seinjaii Grausherra"
