Chapter Six

Ghosts are Scary!!!

**Netscape**

It was midmorning the next day in the camp. The group decided to show Kid what kind of games you can have with water so the youngest Navi added a small lake next to their tents. Their current game they were playing was a knock over war. Kid was piggy backing on the bulky Guts Man's shoulders while Glyde gave Rockman a boost to match up with their opponents. Roll.EXE was floating about mindlessly with the crimson colored Viral companion of Kid's while the massive dog style Garuu lay next to the Golden Valkyrie who was enjoying the sunny day on the shore, being that Blitz was a fire based Virus he and water didn't mix well.

"Ok Rock-kun, me and Guts-kun are going to win!"

"Not if Glyde and me have anything to say about it Kiddo."

A vidscreen appeared just between the four playing Navi's letting the bandana wearing Netto Hikari and his pinked haired friend be seen by the Netbeings ~Hey guys!~ ~Playing nicely?~

The heart emblem Navi nodded with a chuckle to her partner "Ya how can we not? We never get a break like theses so why would we ruin this peace?"

"FOR FUN!" Kid quipped raising his fist up so spontaneously that he caused himself and his robotic like carrier to fall over in the water getting a laugh from the others and a small chuckle from himself "Oppies, guess Guts-kun and me loss this one"

"Guts! Next time you go with Glyde!"

"Gomen Guts-kun"

Netto decided he better jump in before any other games started ~Listen up guys, we're heading off to the Dam over here so you's wanna come?~

Rockman hopped down from the brown Navi and nodded to is Netbattler "Sure thing, fist time we could simply look around without worrying about it blowing up"

The young Navi looked confused about that statement he scratched his helmet trying to put it together so it would make sense but to no avail "Umm nani?"

Mayl quipped in realizing Kid would never understand due to the fact he had no link to Human News because he knew non from so long ago ~Back with the Gospel Mafia they tried blowing up the dam to flood the city, together with our friend Saloma, were here to stop Quickman and his Netbattler from doing it.~

"Oh, what happend to them?"

The blue bomber took this question "We'll they did need to apologize and make up for the damaged they caused, but their back to their old job working in the forest to preserve it."

Kid nodded smiling but being reminded of their past exploits with NetMafia's got them talking a bit about some of the Navi's and Netbattlers they had to face before hand and for the white and purple Navi, this would be a bad thing.

"Guts Man happy that Quickman not like Stone Man or Bomber Man, Guts"

Rockman nodded fully in agreement "Ya, boy they were strong. Imagine if there were any more copies of them left, I don't think we could handle them!"

"Oh but what if their data refused itself as Navi Ghost, now that would be disastrous." the tallest Netbeing added, he would have said more but just then the youngest Navi tugged at his armored arm to gain his attention "Yes Kid? What is it?"

Kid began to scratch his chin lightly as he began to question yet again "What's a Ghost?"

Roll had swam out of the lake now and was kneeling next to the white and purple Navi so they were eye level "A ghost is like a dead person or thing come back but not alive or functioning."

"Ya, Guts. They come and scare you and take you away, Guts. Wooooooo, Guts" Guts Man teased sneaking up behind Kid and grabbed the little ones shoulders, which turned out to be both expected and unexpected results.

"WHAAAA!" Kid shouted giving everyone else who wasn't paying attention a fright as he himself jumped out of sight. The rest of the group looked about finding him clinging to a Cyber tree at its upper most tip shaking rapidly causing leaves and branches to fall. "WHHAAAA GHOSTS!"

Roll moved over to the bulk bodied Navi and gave him a hard boot to the foot causing him to hop about holding his stomped bipedal "Guts Man! Look what you did! KID! ITS ALRIGHT! THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS!"

"BUT GLYDE-SAMA AND GUTS-KUN SAID THEY WERE REAL!" Kid shouted intensifying his grip on the tree shutting his eyes tightly on the verge of crying in fear. That alone would be prof enough that he was indeed still child minded.

Glyde brought his hands up to his mouth to try and help out with the scenario he himself helped in "BUT KID, I MERELY SAID NAVI GHOSTS! THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES ROLL AND GUTS MAN JUST SPOKE OF! THERE ARE INDEED NO REAL GHOSTS TO SPEAK OF!"

"ARE YOU SURE?"

Valkyrie had began to stand up and waved to the others to let her handle it. She flew up to the currently frightened Navi giving off a small smile to help him calm down "Don't worry sweety. I promise you there are no such things as ghosts. Now come on, lets get down so we can go see that Dam ok?"

"Nu-uh. I don't wanna, they probably wont let me and Hatz and Blitz in the system. Can we stay here?"

"Alright, but you got to get down from this Tree first." the golden Navi chuckled, but sadly it would seem she chose a bad time to say it because do to all of Kids shaking and fidgeting the tree tip he clung to snapped off causing it and its occupant to fall down though the branches "KID!" Valkyrie dashed down looking about under the tree with the others for any signs of the young Navi, they began to worry as there seemed to be no traces of him at all. "KID!?!"

"BOO!" Kid.EXE shouted as he sprung back down in front of Guts Man, Kid was now upside down holding onto a small string-like rope with both hands and even his feet giving him a resemblance to a well known arachnid based Super Hero and had successfully scared the system out of the bulky Navi for doing so to him "Ta-da, I got the idea from a Virus."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, well all but Guts Man and his human partner who both growled lightly in embarrassment ~Come on you guys, lets get going already!~

Yaito's PET Vidscreen pupped up next to the Mohawk styled Netbattlers giving him her usual disapproving look ~Your just upset because your over-weighted Navi got his just deserts~

~SHUT UP YAITO!~

**Camp Site**

"Well, looks like Chas is terrorfied of ghosts hey? Looks like we have a major advantage bestowed to us hey partner?"

~Looks like he's in for a little bit of a 'Fright' today..ehehhheheheh~

As the group left their camp site, Rika put the Battle Dome inside the boys tent and shut off the hologram projector to save power before heading off with the others "Sure he'll be fine without us Val-chan?"

~Of course, he can. He's not alone anyway he has Blitz and Hatz to look out for him. Besides we'll be back soon anyway...~

BOOOOOM

Everyone looked on ahead, an ominous black cloud arose from the trees in the direction of the dam. Netto immediately leapt to the air and attached his skates before he dashed off ahead to the dam shouting over his shoulder "HURRY UP EVERYONE!" the bandana wearing Netbattler with friends in hand raced to the Dam sparing no time to look for the source of the disturbance and found it in several dangerous objects "Aw man! Bombs!"

~Not just normal ones Netto-kun. They have Plug-In Posts. Meaning...~

"Viruses and possible Navi's. OK, PLUG-IN! ROCKMAN.EXE!"

"Wait for us short stuff! PLUG-IN! VALKYRIE.EXE!"

"GLYDE.EXE!"

"GUTS MAN.EXE!"

"ROLL.EXE!"

"Blues.EXE. Transmit."

~"WHERE'D YOU GUYS COME FROM?"~

Meanwhile back at the camp, a middle aged man closed in on the Tent which held his objective. He was wearing a deep green cloak covered in fake leafs and branches which concealed him perfectly with the environment. He slithered into the tent without notice, thanks ever so much to the panic of everyone else do to his 'diversion' back at the Dam. He pulled the Battle Dome next to him and opened it revealing its wiring. He fumbled into his cloak pulling out various tools and reorganized different wiring to new circuits careful not to deactivate the system till all was ready. He pulled out several Battle Chips still concealed within his cloak and inserted them into the new electronics he equipped which were designed for them "And now, PLUG-IN! FRIGHT.EXE!"

**Battle Dome Netscape**

"1..2...3....4....5.....6...." Kid counted off while he covered his eyes and leaned against a Cyber Tree as his Viral pals raced a bout trying to find a suited Hiding place, but suddenly as they hid behind a large amount of foliage the environment changed, it began to shift and mutate from a lively forest of beauty to a cold and lifeless forest of dead or dying trees, massive fog crept around every corner as the Dome began to darken. The Viruses were about to go for their young Navi friend but the ground beneath their legs slithered around them and began to suck them into it. They struggled with all their might but the tentacles of the cyber Floor strengthened and pulled them in and covered their mouths preventing a cry of warning or help.

"18....19....20! READY Or not here....I.......come?" Kid looked about in shock, the forest was...dead? But he just made it the other day and it was as lively as..well him. He turned this way and that looking for any signs of life, but to no avail. It was then that the young Navi felt a deadly chill run down his back when he realized, he was alone "B-Blitz? Hatz? Where are you?" Kid began to walk slowly, he would turn about feeling as if he was being followed but saw no one. He started to shiver, if it was the fog or just his imagination Kid was starting to freeze. The little Navi wrapped his arms around himself rubbing his upper arms to give off warmth but it didn't help. He jumped around hearing a snap of a twig looking though the fog "K-k-k-Konichiwa? I-i-i-is someone t-t-t-t-there?"

Kid got an answer, and suddenly wished he didn't. Standing just a few feet from him was a tall Navi, his body was a blend of machine and human form and was nearly all red save for his grey boots, funnel like head and lower arms. At the end of his head and arms were gratings that were now seeping with flames, and his only facial features were a set of eyes that stared off at the white and purple Navi coldly.

"K-k-k-k-konichiwa? I-I-I-I-Im Kid.EXE.....how'd you get here?"

"Fi-re To-wer" the Blazing Navi said slamming his arms to the ground sluggishly, as though not alive. The ground beneath Kid shook for a moment before an inferno erupted under his feet trying to incinerate the little Navi who barely jumped out of the way in time. The red Navi raised its arms at him shooting off a second assault of flames this time catching his left shoulder.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Kid bellowed gripping his sizzling shoulder begining to leap back trying to keep his distance from his attacker, but as he passed a tree he found it would not be so easy, he was hit point blank in the stomach by an electrical force sending him spiraling across the muddy earth in pain again. He looked to the new attacker, this one was a bit shorter then the other, and less inhuman.

His body was suited in brown with a yellow lighting stripe running down his left side, each side of his helmet shot out triangularly at both ends and meet at a round middle with another lightning bolt. His arms encased in larger wire like gauntlets and his back held onto four generator spikes at each corner. His face was a paling blue with small yellow lightning stripes under each blood red eye. It was then Kid saw a similarity between the two, their eyes were hollow and lifeless "Ligth-ning Bl-itz."

The young Navi just managed to roll out of the lighting bolt that shot down from the ski ready to impale his mid-section, but was launched painfully though the air again when a geyser of water exploded from the floor beneath him, as he spiraled though the air he saw the third assailant and by far the strangest of the three.

This Navi's base was obviously from a clown. It he had a sort of red clown skirt that connected to a white and blue striped ball, his arms were long and slender like pipes colored a vibrant yellow and blue ending in an over exaggerated box shaped hands and swirl colored fingers, his head was round in a pasty yellow with blue-green hair and a small red hat, he held no smile however as many clowns should and his small light red eyes flickered with no emotion, just as the other two. Kid came crashing down though a Cyber tree digging up through the ground to a agonizing stop next to a boulder. He pushed off the ground as best he could flinching in sheer pain as he looked up to the three towering Navi's as they closed in on him like a pack of Zombies "W-who..*Cough* are....you? What...do...you..w-want?"

They didn't answer, they just kept stalking over to him slowly, and deadly. The wind of the System picked up swirling the mist about them as an eery voice whispered across the grounds

"Weee..areeee....heeeereee..forr...youuuuu....Kid.EXEeeeee....youuu will beeee......oneeee of ussss.....a Ghost......forever....."

Kid's eyes widen in horror at the three Navi's his lower lip trembled as much as his body as the cold and lifeless hands closed in on him. The little Navi's eyes began to water and leak as he pressed his small frame against the massive bolder to try and escape the dead hands of the Ghost Navi's....all he could do now...was...

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!"
