"Uhhhhh......." The world slowly came into focus for Netto.

"Awww, the little boy is finally awake." said a voice.

Netto stood up and went towards the voice. But he ran into a forcefield and flew backwards.

The girl giggled. It was so high pitched Netto swore that if a glass was in that room it would break right about then.

"Yes there is a forcefield in this room to keep you in. Other wise Master's plan wouldn't work."

"Yeah, and who the hell are you." It sounded so weird to hear his brothers voice in that tone.

"I am Hikari. One of the ninja twin navis."

Netto looked at her. "Ummm, if you are "light" then why are you dressed in black?"

Her mood took a 180 "Geeze, why the hell does everyone ask that! It doesn't matter. Just know that I am more powerful than you."

Netto snorted. "I doubt that."

"Oh really then let me reenact the battle, 'Wuahhhh, Rockman my arm turned into a sword!'"

Netto blushed a deep red. "I was just practicing."

"For what, the theater?"

Netto had to remind himself that there was a forcefield in front of him to keep himself from lunging at her. Then she did something that surprised him. She walked straight through the barrier. She reached over and lifted up Netto's chin. She smiled her purple eye's glinting "You are cute, it's hard to believe you are human." Netto gulped and was glad when a voice came up.

"Hikari leave. I want to talk to him alone."

"Yes master." she let go of him and left.

"Netto," Master smiled "We have a lot to talk about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Then they took Netto." Rockman was almost on the verge of tears.

Meiru looked torn. She had never seen Netto with that expression on his face.

"Rockman," Roll said from the PET.

"I mean I was right there and I was completely hopeless. I should have done something!" his sadness was being replaced by anger.

Enzan looked at him. "Well neither knew what you were doing. I wasn't surprised."

Everyone looked at Enzan shocked. "I mean, think about it if we switched places with our navi's would either of us stand a chance in battle?"

Everyone brooded on these words. And all came to the same unspoken conclusion.

Rockman sighed, all he wanted was his brother. He thought about Netto and then found the link. He concentrated on it with all his might. Then there was unspeakable pain. He collapsed clutching his head. Everyone looked at him.

"The... link is....closing."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You see Netto." said Master with a mocking smile. "Sama and I have been watching you for a while."

"Sama." it wasn't a question.

"Yes, my operator. Of course we never dreamed that you would switch bodies. But this makes it so much easier. So forcefully or willingly you will help us."

"Help with what." said Netto cautiously.

"With your power we can easily destroy the net. Then we can rebuild it. Make a new utopia for only those we choose. I'm sure you don't understand since you are human but us navi's are confined to a certain space, no where to go, no where to test our power. If we build a new home our power will have no limits. So will you help."

"You know my answer, jerk." said Netto.

"Awww.... too bad. Then you can't do this consciously." He reached towards Netto with a glowing hand. He felt..... dizzy. Too many thoughts were in his head. He recognized them as data bits. He was forcing a control program into Netto!

Hikari watched and the boy struggled. 'This wasn't how he explained it.' she though. 'This isn't right.' Hikari rushed over and pulled out her sword. She hit Master on the head and grabbed the lifeless Netto. "Hold on." she whispered. Netto was too dazed to answer.

She ran as fast as she could putting the forcefield immunity into Netto. As she ran off she heard Master's curses behind her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Netto was starting to recover from the forced download. His head was spinning but he could go through the links with out Hikari's help. As they went in silence Netto became uncomfortable. Then he asked the question he had been wondering for the past 30 minutes.

"Why did you save me?"

Hikari looked at him sharply. "I have my reasons."

"Oh." Netto looked at the net around him. He was still new to the concept of floating.

"If you must know, this was my brother's idea. He wanted power so he asked me to help him. But this is not what I had in mind." she looked at him "Besides you're cute."

Netto blushed. "T-this isn't my body you know."

"Yes, but you are still cute. I have seen Rockman, but when you are in his body you look...... different. Cuter, for sure."

Netto spent the rest of the trip beet red and in silence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rockman held his head in his hands. He was worried. His brother might be hurt... or worse! No, he told himself. Do not think like that. He will be fine.

Meiru looked at him. She couldn't help but to feel sorry for him. If only...........

"Yahhhhhhhhh!" Netto fell through the final link and landed *very* hard on Gutsman.

"What was that de-gutsu......"

Netto had swirly eyes and was currently trying to get a grip. Hikari came through and landed gracefully and as quietly as a cat. Rockman stood up and went over to her.

"What are you doing here!" Rockman was angry. But his tone was soft, so it didn't sound like Netto, but somehow he sounded like himself.

"Relax, Rockman." said Netto. "She saved me."

"Yeup!" She walked over to Netto and slung an arm around his shoulders.

Netto started to blush and Roll started to get angry. "Just why did you do that?" she demanded angrily.

"I really don't want to explain again. You can ask him." she said indicating her captive.

They all looked at Netto. He started to blush. 'Rockman blushes so easily.' he thought. "Well I guess I should start at the beginning...." And Netto explained the day's adventures, omitting the embarrassing remarks made by Hikari of course.
