I'm BAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! From my holiday in Gold Coast and Brisbane! Even though it's a bit later then the promised date, here's Chapter 9 of Going Digital!

Disclaimer: ALL OF YOU STUPID READERS SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW?! IF YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN, WHAT KIND OF READERS ARE YOU?! (Gets whack by Pyra's new mallet)

I've been waiting to test out my new mallet I bought! Also, due to some problems, I have to use both Microsoft Works and WordPad since I lost the program disc for Microsoft Word.Chapter 9: Looks can be deceiving, Part 2.
==========================================================
"They plug-in their Navis, Keke-san." Skye said to her Operator.

"Good, test their strengths if they are good enough."

"Don't worry, my pet will handle them. Though I prefer facing the D-Humans."

"You will, Skye, you will."

==

"Plug-in! Rockman.EXE, Transmission!"

"Plug-in! Guilsu.EXE, Transmission!"

Both Navis found themselves standing on white tiles of the door network. From their position, they saw paths going to different places and viruses over the places.

"Whoa! What a lot of viruses!" Takato exclaimed, as a pair of screens appear, showing Netto in one and Takato in another.

"Netto-kun! We better go and find the virus and delete it!" Rockman said to his Operator.

"All right, Rockman! Let's go!"

"Guilsu, are you ready?"

"Hai, Takato.EXE!"

"Guilsu!"

Turning towards the small Navi, the Blue Bomber said, "Let's do it!"

With a nod, they both run along the path, deleting viruses along the way.

"Battlechip! Spreader, Slot-in!" Netto said, slotted the Battlechip in.

Rockman's right hand turn into a gun and fired it at a group of Mettaurs, deleting them instantly.

"Battlechip! Hyper Speed, Slot-in!" Takato said, slotted in a Battlechip similar to his Modify Cards he use as a Digimon Tamer.

The red Navi became a blur when he runs around a group of viruses, firing his Pyro Buster at high speed. When the affect of the Hyper Speed Battlechip wears off, the viruses are already deleted.

"That was so cool!" Netto commented.

"That's one of my Battlechips that based on the Digimon card game back in Shinjuku." Takato explained to the other brunette. "You only get these kind at Shinjuku. We can trade later."

As they travel deeper into the door network, they found themselves in a room with a large eagle-like virus guarding a switch.

"That must be the virus!" Netto exclaimed.

"Then we must delete it." Rockman said.

The virus like out a eagle-like cry then swoop down towards then.

"Guilsu, duck!" Takato warned his Navi.

"Rockman, watch out!" Netto warned his Navi, too.

The Blue Bomber moved out of the way of the virus's path. Guilsu just fell down to the floor, holding his head when the virus went past over him.

"Guilsu! Are you okay?" Takato asked.

"Guilsu's okay!"

When Guilsu stands up, both him and Rockman turn their right hand into their respective buster.

"Rock Buster!" Rockman cried, firing plasma shots at the bird.

"Pyro Buster!" Guilsu, too, firing his buster, except with fire-based plasma shots.

The virus let out a cry when it's being hit by the shots, but it keep on attacking, this time with it's talons out and ready.

"Guilsu, WATCH OUT!" Takato warned, but it was too late.

"Rockman! Help!" Guilsu cried, when the virus grabbed him around his stomach with it's talon.

Now, I'm sure some of you are wondering how big is the eagle virus. Let's just say it's big enough to carry Guilsu around with one talon.

"Guilsu, hang on!" Takato said, then he turn to Netto. "Netto! We need to find that bird's weakness!"

"Okay, Takato! Battlechip! MiniBomb, Slot-in!"

==

Takato hold out a Battlechip to Netto. "Here, it'll help Rockman so it won't miss and hit Guilsu by mistake! Don't worry, I've got a spare one."

"Arigatou, Takato!" The bandana-boy, then, slotted in the Battlechip. "Battlechip! Targeting, Slot-in!"

==

A green visor appears over Rockman's eyes, showing him data on where to throw the MiniBomb in his hand and how hard. With a nod, the Blue Bomber aimed carefully at the virus, who's holding Guilsu and tighten it's grip slowly, and throw!

The MiniBomb explode right at the knee above Guilsu, out of surprise and pain, the virus let go.

The red Navi maneuver his body so he can land on his feet, with his knees bend and his head facing down.

"Guilsu! Are you okay?" Rockman asked, concerned about his friend. The Blue Bomber couldn't sees his friend's eyes since it was covers by a shadow.

==

"Huh?"

Takato looks at his PET, which was starting a program without his notice. Then, a message appears on the screen.

Feral Mode program running. Do you wish to activate it?

The crimson-eye boy, then, suddenly look serious as he thought about it.

"Takato?" Netto asked his friend, worried about his sudden change of attitude.

The former Digimon Tamer press a button on his PET. Netto looks at his friend's PET, reading the text that appears.

Accepting access. Activating Feral Mode.

"What?" Netto wonders out loud, confused.

==

Guilsu suddenly looks up, at the virus, his attitude suddenly change. His friendly amber eyes slits like a cat and he bears his teeth, showing a pair of fangs among them.

"Guilsu?" Rockman asked, worries about his friend.
"Don't worry, Rockman. He'll be fine." Takato said.

The red Navi activates his Pyro Buster, charging it to full power, still keeping an eye on the virus, who let out a cry then swoop down.

"Watch out!" Netto warns.

Guilsu, then, fired his charged buster at the virus, the plasma have a striking similarities with the Pyro Sphere, Guilsu's old technique as a Digimon.

The bird cried out in pain before it was deleted.

Guilsu's eyes went back to normal before he turn to Rockman. "Rockman! We did it!"

"Good job, Guilsu!" Takato praised. "Now I can go back!"

Both Rockman and Netto was shocked, the sudden personality change of Guilsu seems strange and weird to them, but it was normal to Takato, who seen it plenty of times when Guilmon senses a Digital Field and fight a wild Digimon.

Then, they heard clapping.

"Huh?" Rockman and Guilsu turns and saw the same Navi in sky blue armour they met earlier.

"Bravo, no one has beaten my pet before, let alone deleted it." She said. "Then again, what can I expect from Navis who have the data?"

"You're the Navi we met earlier!" Guilsu said, his eyes slowly slits like a cat.

"Ah, I'm glad you remember me, brat!" The female Navi said.

"Who are you?!" Takato asked. "Are you the one who locked the door?"

"My name is Skye.EXE," The Navi replied. "And yes, I am the one who locks the door."

Turning her right hand into a what it seems to be a gun, except Rockman and Guilsu saw fans in them.

"Shall we begin?" Skye asked, with a smirk.

=============================================================
WOO! Sorry for the late chapter since I promised it'll be update earlier, but at least it's here, right?

Anyway, just when Takato thought he'll be going to the Kanbara residence, Skye appears. Will Rockman and Guilsu defeat Skye? And just what's up with the Feral Mode program? Only I know the answers!

Review if you want the next chapter out! Flames will be used to power up Rockman HeatGuts Style and he'll blast them to the next millennium! Oh and pathetic flamers (I know one of you are) will be ignore since their flames aren't good enough to light up my temper.

See ya till next time on GOING DIGITAL!!
