"Good idea." said Rockman.

"Ok! Let's go!" said Netto.

As the group walked through the city they all looked around.

"There is no one here........." whispered Netto.

"No, what happened?" asked Rockman

"There was an emergency plug out but since we were in the net converted area we didn't plug out. We didn't have to." said Glyde.

A shadow watched them, waiting for his move.......

Netto shivered "This is so.....creepy."

Roll nodded. "Yeah, it is. I think we need to find a safe place. Because we can't plug out."

"It's not like we would plug out- degasu. Because then we would have to leave Rockman here-degasu." said Gutsman

Iceman nodded "Yeah, we wouldn't leave them here."

"Thanks everyone!" said Rockman.

Netto just stood there, shivering.

Rockman noticed his distress. "Are you ok?"

Netto looked at him. "Yeah, it's just.....it's kinda......"

"Scary?" Rockman asked.

Netto nodded.

"Well, this is the center of the net. So it will be the last to go. And the net stadium is surrounded by so many firewalls to keep the power of the battlechips in I think that will be the safest place to go." said Rockman.

"That's a good idea-degasu."

~~~~~~~~~~

As they walked up to the stadium Netto's eyes widened.

"It's a lot bigger from the inside huh?" said Rockman.

Netto just nodded.

When they got inside Iceman spoke up. "I think we should look around to make sure that there are no navis here that are stuck or something. This was probably the last place evacuated. And if there was a fight going on someone might have gotten hurt."

Everyone nodded and split off into different groups.

~~~~~~~

Netto walked down a corridor by himself looking around. He wasn't necessarily looking for anything, he was just looking at the net amazed. 'It's so pretty.' he thought. He didn't notice the shadow behind him.

~~~~~~~

Rockman walked down another corridor. He was starting to think this was a bad idea, Netto should not be by himself. He walked into a room and found Woodman, lying on his back.

"Woodman! Are you ok?" he ran over to his friend.

Woodman sat up. "Y-yeah, I tried to go back through the link before it was cut off but I was too late. I think I ran into a barrier of some kind. But I'm ok." Then he looked at Rockman. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I......"

"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Netto-san?" said Woodman very confused.

"Oh-no!" Rockman stood up and ran towards the yell.

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

Netto was standing over the still unconscious Sharkman. He had tried to wake him up, unsuccessfully, for 15 minutes. When he turned around he had found his back surrounded by viruses.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" he had yelled at the top of his lungs. He did not like surprises.

Sharkman's eyes fluttered. He opened then in time to see Netto being zapped by an electric type virus. The boy's eyes were shut in pain as he glowed with the attack that was hitting him.

Sharkman needed no further bidding. "Fin-cutter!" The electric viruses disappeared as the water attack hit them, destroyed by their own attacks.

Netto gasped as he fell on his hands and knees. Sharkman went over to him.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

Netto nodded. "Damn, that hurt......"

Rockman followed by Woodman came into the room. Rockman ran over to his friend.

"Netto-kun!"

"I-It's ok Rockman. I just got hit by a virus."

"Netto-kun! That's not ok! You are still human!"

Sharkman looked confused and Woodman looked a little stressed. "What is going on he...." he started when Roll followed by Skullman and Glyde followed by Blues ran into the room.

Skullman and Blues' eyes widened as they saw the boy. Netto looked up and started to blush. He didn't like this kind of attention.

Finally Iceman and Gutsman ran in. "We heard a yell-degasu!"

Roll went by Netto and knelt by him. "Are you sure you're ok?" she asked quietly.

Netto pushed Roll and Rockman away. "I'm fine. I just wasn't paying that much attention, that's all." Every muscle in his body hurt from the shock. And on top of that he was starting to feel a little sleepy. He remembered that sometimes if you get shocked a side effect was sleep. 'Great' he thought 'Just what I need, to collapse in front of everyone'

Blues looked at the human trying to stand. He smiled as his stubborn streak came through when he swayed but did not collapse. 'He survived an attack from a virus with enough electrical power to short out a whole neighborhood and he's still conscious.' he thought to himself. 'That kid has guts.'

The Net Agent navis were looking from Netto to Rockman in confused glances.

"Netto came in through a net converter." said Glyde.

"How was that managed?" asked Sharkman

"Plantman reprogrammed it. It's also the reason why the net is starting to destroy it's self."

Netto was getting more and more sleepy. Rockman was starting to feel a little achy too. But he didn't know why.

"I think we should go somewhere else and discuss this." said Roll

They nodded and went to a bigger room with a view outside. As they looked on the terrain they saw that the net had destroyed it's self to the area right up to the border of the stadium.

"We're trapped." said Rockman quietly.

Blues and the Net Agent navis looked at Rockman. "Oh, the explanation...."

Netto only half listened. He was lying down using his backpack as a pillow. He fell asleep listening to Rockman relaying the day's adventures.
