A/N I've been having trouble with my pen name lately. For some reason my penname got screwed up and was put as Darkknight8. oh well, what ever. Thanks a lot to Yami jeff, he's reviewed every chapter, which I deeply thank.

The red navi looked at Megaman deeply, then gave a faint smile.

"Hi, you must be Megaman." This made Megaman relax, which made him notice that he had been as stiff as a board.

"Yeah, that's me. Who are you?"

"Oh, my name is Zero.exe. My operator is Com Hikari, Lan's cousin."

"another question, why do you look a lot like me?"

"Well, that's because I was your prototype. You see before Mr. Hikari made you, he made me, to test the idea of an emotion drive. He gave me to Com as a birthday present. Once he saw that I worked well, he made you."

"Oh, I see, well, I guess I'll see you on the ground."

"thank you so much for coming. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to fight off those viruses."

"Yeah, I saw. Hm. I wonder what that navi wanted." Megaman jacked out of the network, which was kind of like a really fast run down a water slide, and went back into his PET.

Com's flight safely landed, and Lan's mom had made a sign with Com's name on it.

"Wow," Lan's mom exclaimed, "you've gotten bigger since the last time I saw you," and Com blushed. Com was to share a room with Lan, so Lan had to move a lot of his stuff and clean up some more. Then, Lan helped unpack, and after that, they went down to eat. As it would seem, there was only two common things between the two boys, their family, and their appetite.

While Lan and Com were eating, Megaman got to know Zero a little more, and vice versa.

"So whose essence was put into your programming?" asked Megaman.

"Com's best friend. On one of Mr. Hikari's trips to Netopia, Com introduced him to his friend, Dory. Then, one day, Dory was killed in a car accident, and when Mr Hikari heard of this, he decided to put his essence into my programming."

"Wow, that's really intricate."

"Yeah. Oh, and speaking of which, who's essence was put into your programming?"

"Oh, Lan's twin brother, Hub."

"I didn't know that Com had another cousin."

"Yeah, well Lan didn't know much about his twin brother either until a couple of years ago. Since then, I've become more than a navi to him. I've become more of a brother."

"Wow, cool. Hey, what do you say we go on the net and do some virus busting. I know of a place that can let you bust whatever level viruses you want, and since we don't have any battle chips, we don't want to get caught in a big battle."

"Right, let's go" Megaman and Zero accessed the net, and as it seemed, Zero had bookmarked the place, so they were able to zip over to the area without any trouble from viruses. They decided to fight some mettaurs, since they would be easy. As it would seem, Zero's main weapon was not his buster, but his sword. He called it a Z-sword. As it would seem, they were both about the same at virus busting, and placed in the top five on the score board in their class.

They returned to their PETs in the afternoon, talking along the way. When they got back, Megaman found a pile of emails on the floor of his "room" inside his PET. He transferred them to his other "room" in Lan's computer. Also, Zero was setting himself up in Lan's computer as well. Megaman found that most of them were from Roll, saying that she wanted to see him. Then, another one said to forget the one before. Zero was reading through his email as well. Megaman sorted the emails, putting ones for him in one pile, and ones for Lan in another.

"I'm still wondering," Zero said, "what was that navi doing with that program?"

"I don't know."

Who was that mysterious computer-like navi? Is there going to be another World three organization? Find out next chapter.
