Shadow Network

By TJ and Rikumon

Chapter Four

Never Forgoten

**Netscape**

This sector of the net was once most common for low level Viruses from the weak and slow hard hatted yellow Mettrools too the less common silver armored Knights, but now it was a different matter. The corrupting creatures of the net as powerful now as they were brutal, the scape now echoed with white noise as the Viral beasts attacked and deleted any Program or Navi they saw without hesitation throughout the night when few were awake to confront this assault...save for one. A crimson colored cannon Virus known as Mega-Cannon swivelled on its base searching for its prey, but a sudden clash of light reflecting in several crosses on its form and it was deleted without warning "Shit, what's with all these freaking Viruses?! Is it mating season or something!?"hissed a pale skin colored Navi, his Operator aparently liked Cat/Human's from games and other such forms of entertainment for this Navi had feline features. His hair styled after the old pageboy look its own colors matched his shadowed colored fur. His body was lean yet muscular showing a well balance of speed, agility and strength and was somewhat tall, not the tallest Navi but not short ether. His feline ears folded backwards readying for battle as his golden eyes shone under his viser while his black armoring did the same.

"Fuck!" the feline Navi leapt backwards as the ground beneath him was ripped to nothing but bits from the sawing of another power Virus called Yo-yo, its silver dagger like sides reared back pulling its wheel from the ground then shot it at the dark colored Navi again letting its blades appear from the round part of its body again to shred his data "GIVE ME A BREAK!"

**Rika's apartment that morning**

Rika Sykra was getting herself ready for work as to be expected because of the large disturbance within the net recently 'Id wouldn't even be going to work this early let alone go at all. But I have to go, I probably would have stayed home being....well I would just say incase he needed to talk but...' Rika looked into the mirror one last time, rather more upset seeming then normal before she forced every bit of her emotions to show a more happy mood. She walked out of her room to the living room which the young Net chimera Kid.EXE/Chas Koro was shoveling though his third helping of scrambled eggs, and it didn't seem he was slowing down "Kid, your going to eat me out of apartment and home literally with the way you eat you know."

"Forrfy Afut Fika"

~Sweety you shouldn't talk with your mouth full, its ill mannered~ Valkyrie quipped through the speaker of her PET while her Biological partner cased it withing her PET holder upon her belt.

Kid took a heavy gulp finishing off his now digesting eggs and smiled rather playfully "Sorry mommy, hey do you two need help on the Net? I can search for the trouble faster then anyone, and be able to stop it too." The young being beamed hopefully, he enjoyed what he was, the worlds first cross breed of Humans, Navi's and Viruses and the power to transform between the three, although he still needed to practice controlling his infectious form.

"That would help, but....listen why don't you stay here and watch the TV or play some Navi games with Blitz and Hatz?"

"Aunt Rika...are you ok? You never asked me to watch TV like...err what's the phrase? Count Potato."

~Its "couch potato"...sweetheart listen, you know what today is and so do we. Were just worried if you're a little upset~

"Im not..."Kid rather quietly walked to the computer for his "VET" as he named it, downloading his Viral pets and close friends into it "I'll be alright, I got Hatz and Blitz, I just wanna help" His youthful eyes gleamed with a rather pleading manner, he felt he had to help in some why, though it was because of all three of himself, his Viral form had a need for something to accomplish a task a deed anything. His Navi form itself needed some sort of destination, someplace to be so he could accumulate something even if only to just stand around, and as for his human part, he needed something to use as an outlet, he felt sad because of what he had seen when he was an infant, something to fucus his emotions on.

Rika looked into Kids eyes, she could almost feel the inner sadness of his, and knew full well that he had only a fraction of an understanding of what caused his usually cheery emotions to turn upside down. She herself could understand, she ran her fingers though her long locks and sighed heavily giving into her Aunt instincts "Alright, I think its probably better if you stay off the net unless its absolutely necessary. I want you to go around and find some info, find some people with Navi symbols with Z designs on it, their supposed to be a new NetMafia out there making a new SuperNavi..."

"LIKE FORTE-KUN?!?......oppies"

Even though she couldn't bee seen, you could tell even Valkyrie was gaping at this statement ~Kid! Have you been seeing him again alone!~

"Errr am I in trouble?"

Just as his guardians were about to answer him, the Official duo were alerted from HQ Via E-mail. Rika sighed deeply and tiredly leaving the room before about facing giving Kid a stern look "Just stay away from him, he's dangerous even to Rockman. Don't trust him ether because you know who he worked for." and with that she shut the door rather quickly as her footsteps raced from earshot

".....but he's not bad..."

**Den City Netscape**

The swarm of Viruses had spread like wild fire, all of the systems within Den City had been infected with violent and brutal Viral Net beings. Officials were spread across the Technological City of wonder battling the hazzards of the Net holding nothing back, but even so it was far from an easy task as Valkyrie.EXE was learning. The Legend based Navi held her transformed arm in its weapon form out blasting away, her Buster Arrow, her own brand of Buster was randomly firing away never missing a Virus as there were so many. "Shimatta! Don't tell me there's another NetMafia in the city!" The golden Navi was suddenly assaulted from behind by a blazing inferno, she managed to avoid most of the damage caused by the Red Dragon Virus but was now left defenseless "CRAP!"

Just as the reptilian attacker was about to lay waste to both Valkyrie the ground she lay, it was sliced though its center with ease and grace as it departed the golden Navi could see her rescuer. The flutter of her cloak wisped around her frame concealing her buster shield while her free elbow length gauntlet arm held up her wood based spear, the winged visor like helmet turned about facing its future opponents as her orange knee high armor-like boots shifted in anticipation, these features covered a once more orange jump suit and sphere and spiral design Navi symbol, the most noticeable feature was the blood red eyes that glared at Valkyrie though their corners "You should have been more cautious Valkyrie.EXE, I have more important matters to attend then saving your programing from these low graded Viruses."

Valkyrie frowned jumping back to her feet, if there was a thing in the Net she hated most, its Navi's and Net Battlers who considered themselves superior to all others, and unfortunately Lancia.EXE was falling under this subject, and also to the golden Navi's disappoint they were partners till this orange Navi and her Netbattler Alexandria leave the city "Sure sorry for not being as good as you....." Valkyrie watched as the cloaked female blazed at high speeds to her new Viral opponents before muttering "Oni-Ojo"

**ACDC Town**

Again the black white and red streak of color shot down the streets as Nami ripped though the pavement on his skates while his Navi friend held his own in his hosted PET on his belt "AHHH! I GOT UP LATE AGAIN!"

~Its your fault Nami, I tried to wake you but you wouldn't listen so...~

"ZERO WILL YOUOFO!" And for the second time in two days the eleven year old crashed into someone, but the blunt pain in his abdomen told him it was someone both shorter and younger then him who he crashed into before they went sprawling next to a wall.

"OUCH!"

Nami repeating himself yet again leapt to his feet bowing and apologizing rapidly "SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!" He spoke breathlessly before seeing the small sneakers still laying across the ground as the owner rubbed his blue/grey haired head upon the spot were the elder boys stomach bombarded with his head. Nami hastily reached out and pulled the white and purpled colored boy to his own feet brushing him off "Are you alright? Did you break anythin?"

Kid shook his head, aside from dazed he was fine compared to the beatings he's taken over his young life span this far. He slowly looked up grinning as he did so often to look at the person "No Im......o...k.....NETTO-KUN!" before anything else happend Kid shot forward into his tackle hug bringing down who from his dazed and sun blinded vision was Netto Hikari "IM SO HAPPY THAT YOUR BACK! HOW'S ROCK-KUN!? DID YOU HAVE FUN? SEE ANY ANIMALS!?"

"ACK! What-are-you-talking-about? Im-Nami!" the currently rib crushed eleven year old said trying to no avail to remove the confused boy. He felt the kid slowly and resentfully loosen his grip and look up to him, the once happy grin and smile now gone and replaced by a pout and puppy sad eyes almost on the verge of tears "Er are you..."

Kid pushed himself up and sat against a house wall holding his legs close and burring his face in his arms, his cheeks began to burn lightly and was cooled off by the tinkling of his own tears. His hopes were quickly shattered, with Netto and Rockman around he could go to them for advice and help about what he needed to do, but now his own confusion had brought out something he was forcing back...sadness for the tragedies of his life, his parents murder, his solitude of all but two Viruses, his near transformation into a killing machine and attempt to destroy those who care for him by the orders of his parents murder. Kid simply sat there confused and sad for a moment before he felt someone place their hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ok? I didn't mean to make you cry."

~Way to go Nami~

"Zero if you don't have something to say that might help don't say anything!"

~You caused this not me lazy!~

"IM NOT LAZY!"

~Are too~

"AM NOT!"

~ARE TOO!~

"AM NOT!"

~ARE TOO!~

"AM NOT!"

~ARE TOO!~

"AM NOT!"

~ARE TOO!~

Needless to say this may have continued for some time, if it wasn't for the fact that the arguing duo were surprisingly interrupted by Kid's sudden shift from tear filled trembles to his outright booms of laughter, the young Cybera may have confused them for his original surrogate brothers in mere appearance, but these two were practically Rockman's and Netto's twins....well if the Net duo weren't each others twin that is "AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!" Kid fell to his side while his hands wrapped around his stitches which by now were aching in slight pain from all this laughter "YouAHAHHA!"

Nami stared off confused just as well as his partner at the laughing child. Neither of them could quite figure out why he was laughing so much, it took them a moment before ether spoke, even then it was difficult because now the blue/grey haired boy was laughing at the top of his lungs "Did we..."~Miss something?~

It took a moment for Kid to regain control of himself, but just as he was about to answer, his mind was jolted with a shock that he knew too well. Kid's head about faced so quickly it look as if his head may spin right off as he looked down the street narrowing his eyes to see the far distance where his senses alarmed him to look "......"

Nami looked at the boy and followed his gaze, the only one who could freely say he was puzzled as he was his Net partner ~Err what's he looking at?~

"Err a really expensive home?"

~No baka, I mean why is his...~ Just as the question was about to be finished, the boy shoot off at breakneck speeds mere moments before a sudden shot of something ripped though the sky above the manor repeatedly with ~...I think I know why, Nami!~

"Way ahead of you Zero!" without another word the brown haired boy shot off following behind the younger boy towards the trouble. Nami's mind began to wheel as stranger and stranger thoughts ran though his head 'What's up with that kid, how did he know about the trouble? Did he have something to do with it? If he is, then why run off to it at the risk of getting caught?....AND HOW CAN SOMEONE SO SHORT RUN LIKE THAT!?!'

Kid skid to a halt jus outside the wide open gates of Mist Manor before running thought the gates, his dash was cut short as the bandana wearing Nami grabbed his arm pulling him to an uneasy stop "Let me go, there's..." an alarm blasted though the grounds as the gate slammed shut behind Kid and Nami encasing them inside its barrier "...aww nuts!"

Nami looked between the kid an the gate and shrugged looking real smug for some reason as he though of something "No big deal, we can climb that."

~Its electrified, touch it and say hello to twenty thousand volts of electricity Nami.~ the crimson armored Navi alerted his Netbattler and seven year old looking though his PET functions for a map to see were they were ~Were on private property, way to go guys. The owners are the M...~

"Mist"

~Ya what the little......how did you know?!~

Kid shook his head racing down though the grass away from the large house, his Navi and Virus instincts told him to go there, and that meant one thing, LOTS of Viruses were doing something. Kid could hear Nami dashing right behind him but paid no attention to him for the moment "Viruses, bad ones, and lots of them are infecting this places systems"

Nami decided not to stop the boy this time and started to streak right next to him eyeing him with suspicion and curiosity "How did you...."

But Nami's question was interrupted by the sudden shouts of someone obviously in danger "AHHHH! HELP ME!"

"Angelina Mist!" Before ether older males could question him further, Kid felt inside himself for strength and bursted though the think hedges of the grounds at inhuman speeds towards the shouts leaving behind a now even more confused Net Duo.

The elegant Angelina was now running for her life, the houses security system had now turned its attention to eliminating her, it had sent any dangerous electrical device at her, and now she was being chased by the lawn mower and shot at by any nearby security lasers to keep her from dodging the mower, she turned to face the once peaceful meaning device's sharp blades gleaming eagerly to grasp at her. However she had tripped upon a decorative stone and now couldn't pull her leg free as the sharp teeth-like blades closed in on her faster and faster "HELP ME!?!" Just as the mower was about to tear at the blond, an indescribable flash of speed shot past her and to the deadly infected device.

"ICE PUNCH SLOT IN!" Kid shouted pulling his arm back as a massive metallic blue gauntlet surrounded his small arm and brought it down with momentous force, not only crushing it ti bits but crystalizing it withing ice to keep its parts still from accidently fly about and harm someone. The gauntlet of the Ice Punch battle chip evaporated as Kid fell to his knees panting from forcing his body though the high level power of summoning a Battle Chip to the real world and using his Navi speed.

Nami had arrived in time to witness the impossible, a human using a Battle Chip's power in the real world "By...Buddha.....what is he?"

Angelina however stared with less amazement and more confidence at a past thought, she managed to pull her leg out without hast and looked at the boy pointing "You ARE! You and Kid.EXE are the same person! You're a Navi and a Human!"

Kid didn't respond, he looked at the wreckage that was once a lawnmower and found what he wanted, a Port. Again pulling his arm back and slamming it to the link to the Net shouting "PLUG-IN! KID.EXE!" Just as his fist met the port, his body was encased within electricity and the energy pulled his form into the link leaving only a strange designed white and purple PET.

"HOLY.."

~NAMI! There's a possibly hurt girl there! Stop swearing and help her out!~

"Huh? OH!" the eleven year old snapped out of his surprise and skid down to the ground next to the graceful blond placing his hand gently on her shoulder "Are you ok? Were you hurt?"

Angelina shook her head hastily "I'll be fine, hurry and Plug your Navi into the Net. There's far to many Viruses for him to handle on his own, so please hurry."

Nami nodded, though confused like never before, he pulled out his PET and its link cord connecting it to the port "Ok, but I wanna know what's going on when this is though. PLUG-IN! ZERO.EXE!"

**Mist Manor Netscape**

The crimson armored Zero.EXE appeared in a flash of light inside the Netscape, the moment he could see, he saw a proverbial sea of Viruses attacking programs and Cyber Towers and the white blaze of a boy-like Navi "That's the kid" Dashing forward and pull out a handle from its hoister as it erupted into an energy blade slicing though a smoke like Shadow Virus that attempted to sneak attack the boy Navi "Watch my back and I'll watch yours." The green eyes of Zero winked to the now about faced boy Navi who smiled and nodded in agreement "Hey, never caught your name, Im Zero.EXE"

"As a human Im Chas Koro, but now Im Kid.EXE" the young child Navi replied sending a punch shockwave though the ground hitting a large some of the Viruses ahead of him. 'Im not letting anyone else die because of a Virus or NetMafia, never again. I'll make sure of it, for you, Mommy, Daddy..'

Meanwhile as the two fought off the Viruses two other Navi's were watching, from the shadows a well feared poncho wearing crimson eyed Navi simply watched the young Cybera smirking to himself, while and indescribable shadow glared picking up orders from his Netbattler "Hges, Seirg, Delek the Navi-g's"
