Chapter Three
New Dangers, New Heros
**Netscape**
"Gomen Aunt Rika, I lost her." the young living cross between Humans and Navis apologized though a Hacked phone link. It was getting late in the day, and things weren't going well for some as the sun, though not visible in cyber space, began to fall slowly to the horizon. Kid was rubbing the area where Apocalypse.EXE had carved his broadsword though, he wasn't hurt but a little upset that he let his Aunt down.
~It's ok K...er..Chas, you did your best. At least you found out were she basically lives, so we've got a good lead...Huh? Oh, Valkyrie what's to talk to you...~ His foster aunt replied as the link became silent to the outer world, meaning that it was now private between Kid and Valkyrie. ~Sweety?~
Kid's eyes began to glisten as his mood became his usual happy easygoing self "Naho Mommy!" he said cheerily.
~Naho, listen. What happened? How did you lose her, you could have followed her though the Net better then the real world. So something happend, what was it?~ the golden Navi asked, her voice full of worry and concern for the young Navi's being.
The little Navi's right hand began to slither up and down his left arm nervously, he knew she was worried about him and if she heard a dark Navi sliced his stomach up like last nights obisaba dinner, she'd be beyond the frantic point. Taking a deep and heavy breath to calm himself, he replied timidly "Oh, I ran into a fight...some big bully, but Im OK."
~Are you sure?~
"Ya, I just needed to use a HP 10 that's all. Im fine." Kid.EXE was felling rather tense, but not as tense as he could be because his suit wasn't changing colors...much anyway. Specks of black and red bloomed across his white and purple frame, as his gaze searched about he spotted his transformation and focused on what Rockman had told him, deep breaths and calm thoughts, deep breaths and calm thoughts "I have to go, Ok Mommy? I've gotta get Hatz and Blitz."
~Alright, pick them up and Aunt Rika and I will meet you back home. OK sweety?~
"Hai Mommy, Je ne!"
~Je ne~
Meanwhile not to far from the unusual Navi, a hoard of Viruses were being collected by a dark and evil figure "Just a few more, and we can begin the attack. Long live Zentric!"
**ACDC Town**
Kid once more in his human form, ran playfully though the streets of ACDC Town. He was simply occupying his mind from the boredom he had been suffering lately. Netto, Rockman and their parents had gone out for the weekend for a little rest and relaxation. Mayl was away at Piano Camp, the little fiasco at her recital didn't cease the talent agents from seeing how well she performed, which left Kid without his favorite music and musician. Dekao was busy with his constant Netbattles in the city, secretly improving his skills so he and his bulky Navi could beat Rockman and Netto. Yaito was on vacation with her farther somewhere in the Caribbeans doing only she knows what. And as for Enzan, Kid didn't like him as much as some people but he was ok for some friendly fights, if you could find him or Blues that is. And if Kid hated anything, it was boredom.
"Aww nothing to do, no one to play with. Netto-kun, Mayl-chan, Dekao-san and no one else is here." Kid slowed down, or rather slumped down next to a long fence wall which sadly reminded him of Yaito's home. On the Net his powers were something else, but as a human he had limits. Kid also hated one other thing, the important rule his surrogate Mother and family said he had to follow for everyone's safety 'Be careful who you tell your secret to' if the secret of the Human who is a Navi came around, he'd be in trouble. So his hold no secrets attitude would have to be in check till he could trust people better, though for him its easy to trust people, and so making friends was difficult. He lightly ruffled his grey/blue hair as his eyes became led weights do to the exhaustion of the seven year old as a felling of sadness fell over him "I miss Netto-kun and everyone.....zzzzzz" and just as quickly as he could hack into five levels of security systems, he fell to a peaceful sleep on his own for the first time in a while. However it wouldn't be long till he awoke in a not so peaceful manner.
While the young unhuman being was adrift inside his own dreams, a familiar beautiful blond haired girl was stepping out of her home to enjoy the scenery of the sunset. The fifteen Angelina Mist elegantly glided across her mansion's yard, making her way to the fence to catch the best view of colorful sky, her long pastel dress flowing along with her. Upon reaching the outskirts of her home, Angelina gave a small sigh as she rested her forehead against the fence, staring off into the now red and pink sky. She missed two of the most important people to her, her oldest friend and partner, and her dear fiancé. She began to wander about her mind, wondering whatever happend to Klepto.EXE, her Navi. She would have remained in her own universe, until..
"Mmh, stop that tickles..."
The elegant blonds gaze returned to normal as her mind snapped back into reality, someone was close, but she couldn't find them whatever direction she looked in. "Hello? Who is there?" she called out in a genteel voice, but to no real response. "I asked, who is there?" she called out again with again no reply. She looked about again hoping to find the voice, when she heard a faint and dazed giggling coming from beyond the fence of her home. She silently moved over to the bars and peaked down below them, seeing a currently sleeping seven year old, who was obviously sleep talking, but she had the funny felling she met him from somewhere.
Kid squirmed a bit as he giggled in his sleep, reliving a life he should have been born into. "Mhmhmh, stop dad. That tickles..."
Angelina smiled slightly, perhaps he was from some of the nearby schools and she saw him playing here. She leaned her arm down though the fence and let her hand rest lightly on the grey/blue haired boy's shoulder and gently rock him a little bit to wake him "Excuse me, but perhaps you should go home before you lay down to rest."
Kid began to wake slowly, the gentle rocking caused him to think he was indeed home sleeping inside his new mothers arms as usual, but the voice, though gentle, wasn't her's. And he suddenly remembered, he wasn't on the Net, so sleeping out in the open was a define no in the human world. He stretched and yawned pushing away the sleep that remained within him, before he looked over his back to who had woken him, and lightly banged his head with his hand realizing she wasn't upside down, just his vison again. "Konichiwa, and arigatou for waking me up. Im Ki....Erm, Chas Koro!" Kid gave his friendly smile he always carried, sadly as friendly as he was, he never really learned how to be discreet.
The beautiful blond held back a giggle, however she managed to regain her composer as the gnarling felling that she had seen this energetic and adorably cute personalitied boy before grew by the second "My, aren't you rather bold and friendly. But have we met?"
"Of course we didn't Ms. Mist!" before Kid realized what he was saying, he had said just the thing to cause his secret to be reviled to another again.
"How did you know my name!"
"Uh oh."
**Den City**
As the streets died down of their populations, a sudden blazing streak of speed shot down from the Metroline. Eleven year old Nami Takenouchi shot down the street nearly crashing into the few people that were up and about. His black hair whipped across his visor and bandanna playing across the Z on it, his blue shirt constantly bombarded with his flailing white vest as his red pants moved along with his legs blurring as he glided down on his skates. His PET shook about his hip holder while his own crimson Navi shouted do to his agitated state ~MOVE IT NAMI! WE'RE LATE!~
"LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!"
~Jeez, how can someone be as lazy as you? You fell asleep in the train for Buddha's sake!~ Zero.EXE commented. His crimson armoring covered his forearms which ended in a golden band at his wrists, lower legs, his chest plate red design ended only to allow the yellow strips across each side and his electrical Z on his back that was covered by his long blond hair as a golden ring ran loosely around his neck and a nearly black helmet produced twin red fins that connected above his eyes as a green gem glistened between them and with spikes acted as his ear caps. His solid black jumpsuit stretched across the unprotected areas but his fac with his calm composed look in his blueish eyes.
"AW SHUT UP!" Nami shouted in frustration at his new partner, even thought it was only three months ago that he and this mysterious Navi were brought together by some unknown force and they have gotten to be close friends. Sadly they, like other friends, had the constant moments when one just got on the others nerves...in this case it was both. "I didn't sleep much last night remember!"
The crimson Navi chuckled at the though, Nami once more stayed up all night organizing his battle chips for multiple combinations and strategies nearly staying up past sunrise even. However this was a bad thing to do considering he had to do so many chores in the afternoon. Shaking his head from side to side lightly, causing his long golden-like hair to swish though the cyber air, Zero said in a playful tone ~Maybe you'll promise your mom fifty jobs for tomorrow morning and stay up till seven this time.~
"ZEROOFFF!!" Nami was so caught up in his now building anger at all his Navi's playful taunts, that he neglected to watch his blazing path and collided with a large dark...something, Nami quickly slipped to a trip and fell painfully on his rear causing a sharp pain to shoot up his spin as he laid on the ground "...ouch..." the eleven year old felt bad enough as is, but a sensation of eyes burning right though him ran across his body, he quickly realized it wasn't a dark thing, but a person he hit.
Towering over Nami, a fifteen year old boy glared at him like he were looking at a pest. His attire nothing but black from his shoes to his flailing jacket, his dark hair danced wickedly in the air as his sunglasses reflected angrily, the only thing light about his form was his pasty pale skin. Nami looked up to him like he were facing death itself "Watch were your going brat, I was doing something important." he sneered in a threatening whisper.
Mid-sentence of that pleasant statement, Nami was again on his feet, or wheels in his manner, bowing feverishly as he felt his face burn in embarrassment "GOMEN, GOMEN, GOMEN...." however the moment the sentence fully sank into his lazy mind, Nami's face was suddenly erupting red in sheer anger "BRAT!? WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BRAT!" he shouted as he grinned his teeth together clenching his fist so hard his nails nearly cut his skin.
The dark teen however shook his head as he gave an annoyed groan at this younger boys acts "Whatever, I have more urgent matters to handle then waste my time on some kid. Sayonara, brat" he said in a whispered taunt as he walked away, his footsteps grew shot of earshot as his jacket groped the air menacingly.
Nami's fist shook in rage as his blood boiled to a point of incineration as he glared at the dark figures back watching it leave his view "Why-that-overgrown-jackass!" he hissed though his teeth while Zero ordered his operators attention though constant beeps of his PET "WHAT?!?"
~Mom's waiting...~
Huh?.......SHIMATTA!" and with that he was a blazing blur once again as he raced home.
**Mist Manor**
"Now I know we've meet, tell me who you are!" Angelina called out to the now racing who was waving his goodbye from his back. The teen girl began to nibble on her thumb nail slightly, the overpowering felling of curiosity was rushing over her like a tsunami wave to a beach. The setting sun gleamed a red/orange as the young boys shadowed outline "I know I've seen him before, and he knew my name.....its his smile and eyes that seem to shout it out but what could....wait that Navi from this morning had the same eyes and smile....and thy both look about the same aged body....dose that mean........no of course not, could it?"
Meanwhile Kid was burning the pavement as he ran away from the home of the girl his aunt would help, and sadly he rushed so fast that when he skid around a corner...he crashed into the wall behind it imprinting himself to it. A few moments pasted as he kicked off the obstacle bracing his face to ease the sharp burning sensation in it "OUCH!!!" Kid gave his nose and jaw a last check over before he looked about his surroundings and felt really silly for not knowing where he ran in the first place "Heh, I ran into Netto-kuns! Heheh!" The young being walked around the white and blue house till he was at the front door. He tip-toed and aloud his hand to snake its way around the mail box, till he possessed all its contents. He once again walked away at a slow pace though the streets again, looking though the mail.
"Hmm. Netto-kun's....Netto-kuns mommy...his dady....Huh? Aunt Rika and me got mail?" Indeed there was mail for both himself and his step-aunt, one was an envelop which when the seven year old felt like a solid round object was enwrapped in with Rika's name on it. And the second was a postcard addressed to him, Kid was now walking though the park and decided to seat himself on the grass to read his first ever letter that wasn't E-mail "'Dear Kid, its us, Netto-kun and Rock-kun. How you've been? Its fun here up in the m-ount-ains, mountains. There's a lake here so I can go fishing, and Papa was able to recreate a lake for Rock-kun's stadium. We're sorry for not being able to bring you, but after what happend with Zetra and all, well you know. Papa made a disc for Rika about some new information he fished out, although you should have seen when we had to fish him out of the lake when he tried to fish like me. Say Naho to Rika and the others for us. Je ne, Netto-kun and Rock-kun.'.....boy I miss them..." Kid gave a sad sigh before he lift his body from the cool earth beneath him, but also the grass a quick feel while he stood there. He enjoyed this moment, he was no longer bound to the net and free to feel earth as it truly is as a human even if he was only one third human. The youthful boy gave the scent of nature one last sniff, before he walked to the small house close to the Metroline entrance. It was a small beige colored home, rather small but it served its purpose nether the less. Kid placed the collection of letters back into his pockets and gently knocked on the door. A moment passed before the sounds of distant footsteps grew louder as the foot barer came closer and closer. The door slowly slid open and the one behind it peaked out slowly before revealing himself "Naho Mr. Gargogi!" Kid boomed friendly.
"Oh, naho Chas. Come for Blitz and Hatz I see." Hiragi Gargogi, a net scientist much like Dr. Hikari, but he specialized in Viruses, good Viruses. He was in his late thirties, the sides of his nearly all blue hair turned a sky blue as the greys fused in, his kindly brown eyes covered by his rectangular spectacles, while he wore a lab suit that was somewhat covered in dirt and burn marks meaning he was working on another invention. "Hold on, I've got something special for ya!" he gave a wink before he returned to his small house again.
Kid pretty much knew this man well, not just cause he aloud Blitz and Hatz to stay inside the Virus Unit with the other nice Viruses while he was away, but also because he was Teckuno Koro's best friend almost brothers, kind of mad him Kid's uncle. Kid was beyond excited as he bounced upon the balls of his feet, he would peak inside the doorway, but a wreckage of broken parts and a few computer-like blocks stood in his vision. Shortly, Hiragi returned with his hands behind his back, blocking Kid's view of the surprise. Kid tilted right and left to gain a peak, but every time Hiragi would simply turn around so they faced each other "Aww come on, pretty please let me see it?"
Hiragi chuckled as he brought out the item from its current hiding place. He smiled broadly as he held out what apeared to be a folded CD player, it was nearly all white but for one small purple strip at its flat base. He pulled at the purple part which flipped open to a handle, and the rest of the device split into two halves, on had keyboard buttons and the other was a screen which had a small black ball with eyes and a red hard hat an feet and blue lizard/dog like creatures looking back at Kid, it was his Viruses Blitz the Garuu and Hatz the Mettrool. "It's a prototype Virus PET system, its for Blitz and Hatz to stay in so they can Plug-In without transferring to Chips. Its for you." Hiragi smiled at the small boy.
Kid beamed, no glowed with happiness at his gift and its creator. Before the elder man knew what hit him, he was tackled to the ground by the force of Kid's hug as the young boy cried out "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Offff! Ok, ok! Im glad you like it. You better get home before its too dark to see." The thirty six year old said as he pride the small, but strangely strong boy off him. He smiled a goodbye as he reentered his home, but a sudden jolt to his memory brought his face to the doorway as he shout out to the small boy "Hey Chas, do me a favor ok? If you find Bugs in the net could you bring some over here? The other Viruses are getting hungry and Netto didn't leave enough for all of them."
"OK! Je ne!"
"Je ne!"
**Rika's apartment**
"Aunt Rika! Im home!" Kid boomed as he walked though the door. He placed most of the mail for Netto's family on the table but his own and his aunts. Kid began to glide across the floor as he smelled something tasty being made. He found his way to the kitchen where Rika was flipping some meat product up and down on a frying pan "Mmhh! Smells yummy!" Kid commented as he patted his belly.
"It'll be ready in a few, so just wash up and....what's that?" Rika glanced over her shoulder for a moment and saw the letter in Kid's hand. She turned down the stove before taking the letter herself.
"It's from Netto-kun's Pappa, its for you." Kid replied, but just then a huge yawn broke though him. He rubbed his eyes tiredly before he asked "Is it ok, if I go to bed...."
"Sure, wait your that tired?"
"Ahuh..." the little boy answered before he zombie walked into the living room to the computer system. Using the Plug-In port, Blitz and Hatz returned to the computer again before Kid transferred from his human part to Navi, but as he landed in the computer again, he legs gave way do to sheer exhaustion. He would have hit the floor if his limp body wasn't pick up and cradled lovingly. "Night mommy....."
Valkyrie rocked Kid gently as she took her usual seat with the two Viruses again. She felt the little fusion of Navi, Virus and Human drift to a peaceful slumber in her arms as was expected.
~Val-chan, think we should take tomorrow off since its...you know.~ Rika soon asked as she entered the computers view. Kid's birthday was three days previously, and it meant that tomorrow was a day that the little child may need his family the most....the seventh year his parents were killed.
"...I think, we should let Kid tell us if he wants us to stay. If not, then we'll let him handle it on his own for the day."
~If you think so, but I have a feeling somethings up, Dr. Hikari sent us a Video with info about his program since Kid was looked over. And I think somethings up, why would Kid be so tired?~
"Like before...."
~Time will tell...ya ya, night Val-chan, Blitz, Hatz, Kid.~

~Alright, pick them up and Aunt Rika and I will meet you back home. OK sweety?~
"Hai Mommy, Je ne!"
~Je ne~
Meanwhile not to far from the unusual Navi, a hoard of Viruses were being collected by a dark and evil figure "Just a few more, and we can begin the attack. Long live Zentric!"
**ACDC Town**
Kid once more in his human form, ran playfully though the streets of ACDC Town. He was simply occupying his mind from the boredom he had been suffering lately.

"Aww nothing to do, no one to play with. Netto-kun, Mayl-chan, Dekao-san and no one else is here."

As the streets died down of their populations, a sudden blazing streak of speed shot down from the Metroline. Eleven year old Nami Takenouchi shot down the street nearly crashing into the few people that were up and about. His black hair whipped across his visor and bandanna playing across the Z on it, his blue shirt constantly bombarded with his flailing white vest as his red pants moved along with his legs blurring as he glided down on his skates. His PET shook about his hip holder while his own crimson Navi shouted do to his agitated state ~MOVE IT NAMI! WE'RE LATE!~
"LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!"
~Jeez, how can someone be as lazy as you? You fell asleep in the train for Buddha's sake!~ Zero.EXE commented. His crimson armoring covered his forearms which ended in a golden band at his wrists, lower legs, his chest plate red design ended only to allow the yellow strips across each side and his electrical Z on his back that was covered by his long blond hair as a golden ring ran loosely around his neck and a nearly black helmet produced twin red fins that connected above his eyes as a green gem glistened between them and with spikes acted as his ear caps. His solid black jumpsuit stretched across the unprotected areas but his fac with his calm composed look in his blueish eyes.
"AW SHUT UP!" Nami shouted in frustration at his new partner, even thought it was only three months ago that he and this mysterious Navi were brought together by some unknown force and they have gotten to be close friends. Sadly they, like other friends, had the constant moments when one just got on the others nerves...in this case it was both. "I didn't sleep much last night remember!"
The crimson Navi chuckled at the though, Nami once more stayed up all night organizing his battle chips for multiple combinations and strategies nearly staying up past sunrise even.

Sayonara, brat" he said in a whispered taunt as he walked away, his footsteps grew shot of earshot as his jacket groped the air menacingly.
Nami's fist shook in rage as his blood boiled to a point of incineration as he glared at the dark figures back watching it leave his view "Why-that-overgrown-jackass!" he hissed though his teeth while Zero ordered his operators attention though constant beeps of his PET "WHAT?!?"
~Mom's waiting...~
Huh?.......SHIMATTA!" and with that he was a blazing blur once again as he raced home.
**Mist Manor**
"Now I know we've meet, tell me who you are!" Angelina called out to the now racing who was waving his goodbye from his back. The teen girl began to nibble on her thumb nail slightly, the overpowering felling of curiosity was rushing over her like a tsunami wave to a beach. The setting sun gleamed a red/orange as the young boys shadowed outline "I know I've seen him before, and he knew my name.....its his smile and eyes that seem to shout it out but what could....wait that Navi from this morning had the same eyes and smile....and thy both look about the same aged body....dose that mean........no of course not, could it?"
Meanwhile Kid was burning the pavement as he ran away from the home of the girl his aunt would help, and sadly he rushed so fast that when he skid around a corner...he crashed into the wall behind it imprinting himself to it. A few moments pasted as he kicked off the obstacle bracing his face to ease the sharp burning sensation in it "OUCH!!!" Kid gave his nose and jaw a last check over before he looked about his surroundings and felt really silly for not knowing where he ran in the first place "Heh, I ran into Netto-kuns! Heheh!" The young being walked around the white and blue house till he was at the front door. He tip-toed and aloud his hand to snake its way around the mail box, till he possessed all its contents. He once again walked away at a slow pace though the streets again, looking though the mail.
"Hmm. Netto-kun's....Netto-kuns mommy...his dady....Huh? Aunt Rika and me got mail?" Indeed there was mail for both himself and his step-aunt, one was an envelop which when the seven year old felt like a solid round object was enwrapped in with Rika's name on it. And the second was a postcard addressed to him, Kid was now walking though the park and decided to seat himself on the grass to read his first ever letter that wasn't E-mail "'Dear Kid, its us, Netto-kun and Rock-kun. How you've been? Its fun here up in the m-ount-ains, mountains. There's a lake here so I can go fishing, and Papa was able to recreate a lake for Rock-kun's stadium. We're sorry for not being able to bring you, but after what happend with Zetra and all, well you know. Papa made a disc for Rika about some new information he fished out, although you should have seen when we had to fish him out of the lake when he tried to fish like me. Say Naho to Rika and the others for us. Je ne, Netto-kun and Rock-kun.'.....boy I miss them..." Kid gave a sad sigh before he lift his body from the cool earth beneath him, but also the grass a quick feel while he stood there. He enjoyed this moment, he was no longer bound to the net and free to feel earth as it truly is as a human even if he was only one third human. The youthful boy gave the scent of nature one last sniff, before he walked to the small house close to the Metroline entrance. It was a small beige colored home, rather small but it served its purpose nether the less. Kid placed the collection of letters back into his pockets and gently knocked on the door. A moment passed before the sounds of distant footsteps grew louder as the foot barer came closer and closer. The door slowly slid open and the one behind it peaked out slowly before revealing himself "Naho Mr. Gargogi!" Kid boomed friendly.
"Oh, naho Chas. Come for Blitz and Hatz I see." Hiragi Gargogi, a net scientist much like Dr. Hikari, but he specialized in Viruses, good Viruses. He was in his late thirties, the sides of his nearly all blue hair turned a sky blue as the greys fused in, his kindly brown eyes covered by his rectangular spectacles, while he wore a lab suit that was somewhat covered in dirt and burn marks meaning he was working on another invention. "Hold on, I've got something special for ya!" he gave a wink before he returned to his small house again.
Kid pretty much knew this man well, not just cause he aloud Blitz and Hatz to stay inside the Virus Unit with the other nice Viruses while he was away, but also because he was Teckuno Koro's best friend almost brothers, kind of mad him Kid's uncle. Kid was beyond excited as he bounced upon the balls of his feet, he would peak inside the doorway, but a wreckage of broken parts and a few computer-like blocks stood in his vision. Shortly, Hiragi returned with his hands behind his back, blocking Kid's view of the surprise. Kid tilted right and left to gain a peak, but every time Hiragi would simply turn around so they faced each other "Aww come on, pretty please let me see it?"
Hiragi chuckled as he brought out the item from its current hiding place. He smiled broadly as he held out what apeared to be a folded CD player, it was nearly all white but for one small purple strip at its flat base. He pulled at the purple part which flipped open to a handle, and the rest of the device split into two halves, on had keyboard buttons and the other was a screen which had a small black ball with eyes and a red hard hat an feet and blue lizard/dog like creatures looking back at Kid, it was his Viruses Blitz the Garuu and Hatz the Mettrool. "It's a prototype Virus PET system, its for Blitz and Hatz to stay in so they can Plug-In without transferring to Chips. Its for you." Hiragi smiled at the small boy.
Kid beamed, no glowed with happiness at his gift and its creator. Before the elder man knew what hit him, he was tackled to the ground by the force of Kid's hug as the young boy cried out "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Offff! Ok, ok! Im glad you like it. You better get home before its too dark to see." The thirty six year old said as he pride the small, but strangely strong boy off him. He smiled a goodbye as he reentered his home, but a sudden jolt to his memory brought his face to the doorway as he shout out to the small boy "Hey Chas, do me a favor ok? If you find Bugs in the net could you bring some over here? The other Viruses are getting hungry and Netto didn't leave enough for all of them."
"OK! Je ne!"
"Je ne!"
**Rika's apartment**
"Aunt Rika! Im home!" Kid boomed as he walked though the door. He placed most of the mail for Netto's family on the table but his own and his aunts. Kid began to glide across the floor as he smelled something tasty being made. He found his way to the kitchen where Rika was flipping some meat product up and down on a frying pan "Mmhh! Smells yummy!" Kid commented as he patted his belly.
"It'll be ready in a few, so just wash up and....what's that?" Rika glanced over her shoulder for a moment and saw the letter in Kid's hand. She turned down the stove before taking the letter herself.
"It's from Netto-kun's Pappa, its for you." Kid replied, but just then a huge yawn broke though him. He rubbed his eyes tiredly before he asked "Is it ok, if I go to bed...."
"Sure, wait your that tired?"
"Ahuh..." the little boy answered before he zombie walked into the living room to the computer system. Using the Plug-In port, Blitz and Hatz returned to the computer again before Kid transferred from his human part to Navi, but as he landed in the computer again, he legs gave way do to sheer exhaustion. He would have hit the floor if his limp body wasn't pick up and cradled lovingly. "Night mommy....."
Valkyrie rocked Kid gently as she took her usual seat with the two Viruses again. She felt the little fusion of Navi, Virus and Human drift to a peaceful slumber in her arms as was expected.
~Val-chan, think we should take tomorrow off since its...you know.~ Rika soon asked as she entered the computers view. Kid's birthday was three days previously, and it meant that tomorrow was a day that the little child may need his family the most....the seventh year his parents were killed.
"...I think, we should let Kid tell us if he wants us to stay. If not, then we'll let him handle it on his own for the day."
~If you think so, but I have a feeling somethings up, Dr. Hikari sent us a Video with info about his program since Kid was looked over. And I think somethings up, why would Kid be so tired?~
"Like before...."
~Time will tell...ya ya, night Val-chan, Blitz, Hatz, Kid.~
