Netto watched Enzan being questioned through the window of his room. Papa and Meijin were trying to drag up every little detail of the attack, and Laika was nowhere to be seen. He thought Rockman had said that the other Net Savior was back in Densan City. Although he could be trying to track down Bubbleman and that strange navi. But there wasn't much Netto could do about that.

Rockman had returned immediately as soon as he'd heard about the attack, and had been apologizing for not being there to help. Netto had simply shook his head, knowing there wasn't anything the navi could have done. He just wished there was more that he could do to help out. More to the point, he wanted to know what that navi had meant when he'd said that he would leave Netto alone after he had left. He had never seen that navi before in his life, and he was certain Rockman had never seen that navi either. And just what had that navi been doing to him before?

He wanted to talk to Papa about it, but the doctors had shooed him outside soon after he'd arrived, insisting that Netto had had a bad enough shock and didn't need to have questioned fired at him and make his condition worse. This frustrated Netto to no end. He wanted to do something useful, not lie around in a hospital bed.

"Netto-kun, are you alright?" Rockman asked softly.

"Yeah," Netto sighed. "I'm fine."

"You sound tired. You should rest."

"I'm tired of resting," Netto growled. But even as he said this the medicine the nurse had put into his iv took effect, and sent him into sleep.

Kichi parked her truck in front of the small building half hidden by various shops. This was the place her hacker friend lived in, and Kichi hoped that the girl was in. She needed to know just what it was that that strange navi was up to, and what was in that data cube that Enzan had opened.

I smell rat nearby! Skunk-chan warned.

What kind of rat? Kichi asked, getting out of her truck.

The white-haired one you don't like.

A smile flickered across Kichi's face. So Laika had come after her, it seemed. Well, she hadn't stayed around after the attack, and the Net Saviors probably had a few questions to ask. She didn't have the time to play games with him right now, though. Every second that she wasted was another second that the trail got colder.

How did he find us?

Skunk-chan poked her head out of Kichi's bag and gave her human friend a sheepish look.

I accidently picked up some kind of tracker device at the Scilabs. Sory.

Easy enough to fix. Go somewhere else while I talk with my friend. Have some fun with the rat.

The skunk made a sound that sounded rather much like a chuckle and jumped to the ground, running off.

Making sure that no one was around to see her, Kichi slipped into an alley between two buildings and slid through a hidden door. Inside was a room filled with various computers and equipment. Sitting in the center of this nest of machinery was a small girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. She didn't look very remarkable, which was as well, being that she was a hacker, and it wouldn't do to draw attention to herself.

"So, you finally got here. What happened, run into traffic?" Neko asked with a smirk.

"Bite me," Kichi replied. "If you knew I was coming, you know what happened. Can you tell me what was in that data cube?"

Neko nodded. "Yes I can. Your navi got careless after he left the hospital, and I got a full scan of him, including the new data he integrated into himself. It seems that that data came from a chip that was locked away in the SciLabs."

Kichi nodded. "Makes sense. But what does it do?"

Neko's expression turned very serious. "Well, from everything I have read, if that navi finds a big enough power souce, he could use that data to create a dimensional area big enough to cover the entire world."

"WHAT?!" Kichi shouted. "You can't be serious!"

"But I am serious. Kichi, you have to stop him before he finds a way to do that. I can download a list of all the possible power sources he could use, but the rest is up to you and the net saviors."

Kichi sighed loudly. "Great, it looks like I'm stuck working with that rat after all. Oh well. Keep me posted, okay?"

Neko nodded, and Kichi left the lab to go find Skunk-chan and Laika. Then she would have to tell Yuuichiro all of this. It wasn't going to be the least bit plesant, but this was a threat she couldn't handle on her own.
