It is a day after the events of Trashman. Netto is just starting to give his teach on how to do a Program Advance. He draws figures of it on the blackboard, which Tsukasa just washed.
"Okay, now, to do a Program Advance, you must have perfect breathing with your Navi, or it fizzles out. It helps if you count at a steady rate. Okay, everyone Plug-In and we'll try a basic Beta Sword PA."
Everyone grabs the PET cords.
Capturers of Zero! The Net Agents of Forte!
The class appears in Internet City, in the ACDC region. Rockman steps onto a small soapbox so he could look out over the crowd and see how they're doing.
Netto's face appeared on a screen next to Rockman. "Remember, it's Sword - WideSword - LongSword." Everyone nods their heads to show they have the chips, since they are pretty common. A screen pops in next to Zero, and Tsukasa fills it.
"So, Zero. You sure you want to learn to do a PA? Seeing as you don't like fighting and all?"
Zero looked at the screen next to him. "PAs are fine. It will help me defend myself in battle. But lets try another PA. What other kind of chips do we have?"
In the real world, Tsukasa looked through his Folder. "Well... I've got FireBlade, AquaBlade, and ElecBlade."
Zero thought for a minute. "Water extinguishes fire... electricity zaps water... try slotting them in that order."
Tsukasa took the chips out of his folder, and tried. "FireBlade, Slot-In!" The FireBlade appeared on Zero's right arm. "AquaBlade, Slot-In!" The AquaBlade appeared on Zero's left arm. "ElecBlade, Slot-In!" The swords began to glow, and Zero held up his arms. There was a flash of golden sword.
Tsukasa nervously tapped the PET screen. "Zero?" The light cleared, and Zero was stuck in a wall, his eyes swirly.
"I guess that was a PA. It was just too strong for us." While the other Navis tried to get him out of the wall, a Navi around the corner had been watching.
"Meijin-sama, there seems to have been a new PA discovery."
A screen appears, but no face on it.
"Good, Gateman. Lets go try it out."
Rockman finishes lecturing the PA training, and Mariko-sensei's NetNavi gethers them around.
"Alright. There isn't much time left in the day, so everyone is free to go around Internet City. And don't go out onto the rest of the Net!"
Rockman, Gutsman, Iceman, Roll, Glyde, and Zero all head out to go to Higure's chip shop. Roll looks at Zero's hair.
"Zero, your hair is beautiful. How do you get it like that?"
Zero blushes and scratches his cheek. "Well, uh, I, um... it's natural, I guess."
Roll blushes and laughs a little. Gutsman looks at Zero, and makes a fist.
"Zero should not be hitting on Roll-chan! Gutsman is the only one for Roll-chan de gutsu!" Roll laughs a little and Gutsman blushes. They come up to Higure's shop, and see Numberman sweeping in front of the store.
Numberman leans his broom on the store. "Ah, Rockman. Come to find some rare chips?"
Rockman nods. "We also came here to show Zero to the chip shop." He motions to Zero, who walks forward and shakes Numberman's hand.
"Hello. What chips do you have?" Higure's face appears next to Numberman.
"We have all sorts of chips! What do you want?" Zero waits for an answer from Tsukasa.
"I'm looking for some Rare Chips. Three stars or more." Higure laughs.
"I don't sell Rare Chips to anyone, only when they have the money to buy them, they don't come cheap you know-" Higure was cut off as Tsukasa fixed the PET screen on a pile of Zennys, looking to be about 50,000 worth.
"I'm sure I have enough." Higure's eyes opened to look at the handsome sum of money.
"Numberman, show him in. We have some transactions to be made." As Numberman led him inside, Roll got kind of a dreamy look in her eye.
"Smart, civilized, long flowing hair, and wealthy! That Zero is turning out to be better and better!" Gutsman pounded his chest in anger.
"Gutsu de gutsu! Zero is making me very pissed!" As Gutsman was making his... statement, a firery red streak came down from the sky and crashed into Numberman's shop. Rockman turned around, and looked at the smoke coming out of the hole.
"Netto-kun, what is that thing!" Netto was staring at the PET screen in disbelief.
"I don't know, be careful, Rockman!" Rockman and the others went inside the shop, where they saw a humanoid-eagle figure along with Zero. Numberman was trying to keep all the Rare Chips safe. Zero drawed his saber.
"Who are you?"
The eagle's wings flapped. "I am Storm Eagle! I am one of the many members of the Net Agents of Forte! I have come to bring you to Forte to really see if you really are one of the one of the top generals in WWW, created by Wily himself!"
Roll looked at Zero. "You mean... Wily created you? Why aren't you wrecking things for the WWW?"
Zero shakes his head. "I don't like to fight and see destruction. However, I'll fight for a good cause."
Rockman steps forward next to Zero and faces Storm Eagle. "Just what are you? You're like no NetNavi I've seen before." Storm Eagle laughs.
"That's because I'm not a NetNavi, I'm not an .exe type like the rest of you. I am a Maverick, StormEagle.mvk. Instead of being run by Operators, Mavericks are run by super computers capable of processing millions of Terabytes in half a second. Forte doesn't believe in human operators, he's really only using Dro and Trashman. Mavericks hack chip data off of the internet, using it for their own causes."
Tsukasa groans. "You're almost as evil as Microsoft itself..." Storm Eagle continues laughing.
"Almost. We take pride in knowing Microsoft is doing a truely evil job of taking over computers every day. The WWW bribes them to do it." Tsukasa gasps.
"I knew there was something fishy about Microsoft..." Storm Eagle's right arm becomes a buster.
"Enough banter. Zero is coming with me. STORM TORNADO!" And of the buster came wind going at about 100 MPH, laced with painful energy. Rockman and Zero were both hit by the attack, and knocked out of the wall, out of the shop. Storm Eagle flew out of the shop, and hovered in the air twenty feet above the blue and red Navis. Zero groaned, and got up first.
"Long Z-Saber!" His Z-Saber recalled the chip data, and grew to twice its normal size. Zero jumped off the wall of the shop, and was about to strike Storm Eagle, when it held up an egg.
"Storm Eaglet!" The egg hatched, and a super fast chicklet zoomed out and hit Zero in the chest, knocking him into the ground. The eaglet disappeared. Rockman slowly got up, and aimed his Rockbuster.
"Rockbuster!" He shouted, and fired some normal shots. Storm Eagle quickly avoided them all.
Storm Eagle aimed his buster at Rockman. "Storm Tornado!" The shot knocked Rockman back down, and sent him into the pavement a few feet. Storm Eagle could do nothing but laugh at the two Navis who hadn't even been able to hurt him. He landed next to Zero, and started to pick him up, when another Navi beamed down in front of Storm Eagle, and pushed him away. The Navi was brown, humanoid, and had a gate in his chest.
"Wind, Fan, Slot-In!" Two winds began pulling in opposite directions, holding Storm Eagle in place. "The element of surprise is the best thing to use, Gateman. See how it handled this Navi?"
The Navi, Gateman, nodded. "Yes it is, Meijin-sama. Should I end the Program Advance?"
"Go ahead, Gateman."
Gateman used his hands, and opened up the gate on his chest.
"GateMagic! Finish P.A, GATER!" Out of the gate came a great mass of destructive energy, and headed straight for Storm Eagle. Storm Eagle laughed again.
"Fool, I can easily run away! Execute, Escape Unit!" The Maverick beamed away, and the Gater P.A crashed into another building.
"Let us continue to look for him, Gateman." Gateman logged-out. Rockman groaned and lifted his head a little.
"Famous...?"
Zero groans and tries to get up. Roll rushes over and helps him up.
Zero brushes a rock off his torso. "Ugh, that Navi saved us. Who was that?"
Rockman gets up with help from Glyde and Gutsman. "He was Gateman, NetNavi of Famous Meijin. He is very, very powerful. Even powerful enough to have his own Program Advance."
Zero quickly leaps onto his feet. "Famous-san's NetNavi! Gateman! He is probably one of the most skilled NetNavi's in the world! Except for perhaps... Blues..."
Rockman nods. "Blues is a very powerful Navi. When I was in the N1, it came down to me and him using Beta Sword. I lost. Enzan became the winner of the N1."
Glyde walked over to Zero. "Zero, Storm Eagle said you were a member of WWW. Is that true?"
Zero glumly nods. "Yeah. Wily created me out of plans from Rockman and Blues, out of a fusion of both. He wanted me to be a war machine. I didn't like fighting... so... I don't remember any more..."
Tsukasa looked down at the school desk. "Well, c'mon. We better Plug-Out and get back to the motel."
Zero nods, and his body changes into the words, "Logout". Tsukasa gets up and starts to walk out the door when Netto abruptly stands up.
"Tsukasa, what did you mean when you said, motel?"
Tsukasa looks back around. "I came here alone, so I have to stay at a motel."
Netto plugs-out and walks over to him. "I'm sure you can stay at my house. Mama is making curry tonight, and I'm sure she'd let you stay!"
"Thank you, Netto..."
