Netto appeared in a large room that he instantly recognized from all of the video feeds they had received from Tesla. However the walls and floor glowed with the multi-color hue of a room that was in a Dimensional Area. He saw the leader of Neo WWW unconscious in her chair and the first thing he did was run over to see if she was okay. "Tesla?" he asked uncertainly.

There was a flash behind him and Dark Rockman appeared looking very pleased with himself. "Well, that went smoothly," he said. "Glad to know all the pawns played the part they were supposed to. Too bad though, I was hoping for more action."

Netto growled and glared at the purple navi. "You…" Netto hissed.

"You're not going to try and fight me again are you? Because it's starting to get kind of old, Netto-kun," Dark Rockman said mockingly. "I didn't bring you here to fight."

"What do you want with me?" Netto asked.

"I want Rockman to suffer," Dark Rockman said with a quiet laugh that made Netto shiver. "And you're just the pawn I need to do that Netto-kun."

Netto glared at him and resisted the urge to run at him again. He needed to think things through and plan out something.

Dark Rockman walked up to Netto and let his red eyes glow maliciously. Netto noted that they were the exact same height, even though he had no idea why he noted that. "Well, Netto-kun, you fell into that trap easily."

"What did you do with Rockman?" Netto asked. He shut his eyes and shook his head; Dark Rockman continued to glare at him.

"I gave him back to the Net Saviors, just as I promised, your navi is fine, for now," Dark Rockman gave him a grin that told many promises and none of them were good.

"What do you want?" Netto hissed, trying to keep his mind from going blank.

"Well, I'd tell you, but I don't think you would understand Netto-kun," Dark Rockman said simply.

"What are you doing?" Netto asked, his eyes half closed.

"You'll see," Dark Rockman said. The voice sounded like it was coming from the end of a tunnel. Netto's eyes misted over and became blank. "All humans are the same," Dark Rockman jeered.

"Dark Rockman-sama, the preparations are complete," Swallowman said from the doorway.

"Excellent," Dark Rockman replied. He slung an arm over Netto's shoulders. "Human minds are so easy to manipulate, though he did put up quite a fight. I think this will be most enjoyable, don't you agree?"

"Yes, Dark Rockman-sama," Swallowman said.

"You're dismissed," Dark Rockman said carelessly. Swallowman bowed and left the room. Dark Rockman looked at Netto's blank eyes and smirked. "I wonder how Rockman will react to you," he asked himself in and amused voice.

"Damnit!" Rockman yelled and punched the ground.

"Rockman, that's not going to help," Roll said quietly.

"But, I should have done something, anything! I knew Dark Rockman was planning something, but I never thought…" Rockman said in a lost voice.

"I think this took all of us by surprise," Enzan admitted. "But for now, we're going to have to wait."

"But…" Rockman started.

Blues put a hand on Rockman's shoulder, "Don't worry. I have the feeling that Dark Rockman couldn't personally hurt Netto-san any more then you could."

"He tried to kill Netto-kun before though," Rockman pointed out.

Blues sighed, "Well, I don't think that's what he has in mind."

Rockman shook his head and shivered. Roll looked at him at a loss of what to say.

"There is a virus attack on the Net Saviors data information building," Manabe said from the door way. "I'm sorry to break this up, but we have a job to do, people."

Enzan and Laika nodded and picked up their PETs.

"Take my PET too," Rockman said.

Laika looked at Rockman and nodded. Rockman smiled and linked himself back into his PET. Meiru picked it up. "I'm going too," she said.

Manabe smiled, "All right, but be careful."

"Yes, ma'am," Meiru said and followed the others out the door.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When they reached where the breach signal came from they saw Netto standing in front of the building, gazing up at where the viruses were doing there work. Meiru was overjoyed, "Netto!" she cried out happily and ran towards him but Laika grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Laika," she whined, "let me go."

"Something is wrong," he hissed.

Netto heard his name called and he turned to see Manabe, Meiru, Laika and Enzan standing there. "Hey," he said cheerfully.

"Where have you been?" Laika asked cautiously.

"Out," Netto replied simply.

Enzan took a closer look at his friend. He noted that his eyes were uncharacteristically cold and blank. "Laika's right," he murmured, "something is wrong."

"Netto-kun…" Rockman said softly from his PET.

Laika was the first to note the purple PET strapped around Netto's waist. "What is that?" he asked.

Netto flashed Laika a cold grin that for all the world made him looked like Dark Rockman. "A friend gave it to me, like it?" he smirked.

Meiru glared at Netto. "Netto, snap out of it!" she yelled at him.

"Snap out of what, may I ask?"

Manabe silently called for back up. She knew this couldn't end well.

"Netto, get a grip!" Enzan yelled.

They heard Dark Rockman's laugh from inside the purple PET. "Forget it humans, Netto-kun is mine."

"Dark Rockman!" Rockman yelled out. If he could he would go into that PET and rip him apart by himself.

There was a small tremor and four Dimensional Converters came out of the ground. A Dimensional Area appeared from Dark Rockman's call for the fourth time in two days. "Well?" Netto asked.

"Don't be stupid, you don't have a Syncro Chip and you can't crossfuse, now get a grip Netto!" Enzan yelled at his friend.

"I don't have a Syncro Chip?" Netto asked. "Says who?" he smiled and held up a brand new Syncro Chip in between two of his fingers.

Enzan and Laika pulled out their own Syncro Chips and immediately crossfused in an attempt to keep Netto from doing what he was about to do.

"No," Meiru whispered and Rockman didn't say anything but watched in sheer horror.

"Too slow!" Netto said cheerfully and pushed the chip into his PET.

Everyone watched as a small purple sphere edged in black appeared and grew. When it disappeared Dark R-Rockman was left in its wake. It was certainly Netto all right, with his brown hair and eyes, but instead of his blue suit with green gems he was now wearing a purple suit with black gems. His eyes glittered with malice and he summoned a sword and launched an attack on Laika.

Laika caught the attack with his gun in an effort to slow down Netto. "Don't do this," he pleaded.

"Do what?" Netto asked. "This?" He summoned another sword on his left hand and brought it down on the gun as well; the combined pressure of both attacks cleanly cut through the gun and caused an explosion.

Laika barely managed to dodge the double sword attack but his gun wasn't so lucky. It was completely destroyed as Netto cut clean through it. Netto straightened up and let one sword disappear. "Now," he said launching himself forward, "Let's see how you are at hand to hand!"

Laika brought up a shield but it didn't do him any good. Netto cut through it on his second try and went after Laika. Laika jumped back and summoned a sword for all the good it might do him. Netto smirked and brought his sword crashing down on Laika's. The impact made Laika's arm go slightly numb and his sword was shaking with the pressure that Netto was applying to it. "Does it hurt," Netto asked in a soft voice.

Laika's eyes narrowed and he summoned all his strength to push Netto back. He pulled back his sword and aimed at Netto side. Netto blocked it and pushed Laika back. He began on the offensive, pushing Laika back, step by step with each blow he delivered. "What's wrong, aren't you supposed to be a champion fencer? Where is that skill?" Netto taunted.

Laika glared at Netto and wanted nothing more then to fight back with all his strength but he knew, and Searchman knew that it was impossible. "Netto, why are you doing this?" he asked, blocking a blow to his chest.

Netto stepped forward and applied pressure on the strike slowly pushing until he had forced the taller boy to his knees. "Why not?" Netto gave him a grin. "It's fun."

Laika's eyes widened and he struggled to push back the sword but Netto was too strong. It was all he could do to make sure the weapon didn't cut through his armor. Netto looked at him with a mixture of pity and amusement, "You're weak," he said.

Laika glared at him and tried to push back but it was useless. Netto smirked and turned his sword a fraction of an inch so that it cut cleanly through Laika's. Laika fell back from the lack of pressure and Netto held his sword at Laika's throat, "Now then," he said.

"Oh no you don't!" Enzan yelled and ran over to where Netto and Laika were.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Charlie led the group of helpers to where Manabe was standing in shock. "What happened?" he asked in response to Manabe's horrified look.

She pointed at the Dimensional Area where the massive battle was taking place. Enzan and Netto were now fighting with swords, and Laika was sitting on the ground in some kind of shock.

"Is that…" Jasmine's voice trailed off.

"No way…" Dingo said in shock.

"Netto?" Pride whispered.

"Netto, come on! I know you can hear me!" Enzan yelled while blocking an attack aimed at his arm.

"Oh, I hear you perfectly fine, Enzan," Netto jeered.

"You're not Netto," Enzan hissed.

They broke apart and landed on opposite sides of the Dimensional Area. "What makes you say that?" Netto asked mockingly. "How well did you know me anyways?"

Enzan flew back at Netto and brought the blade by his head. "I knew you well enough to know you would never do this," he hissed as they broke apart.

Netto laughed at Enzan and jumped back into the air forcing Enzan to oblige. "Fair enough," Netto muttered as they met once again. The next time they landed Enzan went for a ground attack and aimed for Netto's leg. Netto brought his weapon down to parry Enzan's and kicked him in the side. Enzan flew over a few feet of ground before landing in the dirt. He pushed himself up shaking his head dazedly and looked up to see Netto over him with the sword pointed down. Enzan only had a split second to jump out of the way before Netto landed where he once was with the sword point buried in the ground.

"H-he's trying to kill me," Enzan said in disbelief.

"Enzan-sama…" Blues wasn't quite sure what to say to that.

"Bingo," Netto said cheerfully as he pulled his sword that was hilt deep out of the ground. He opened his eyes and they glittered dangerously, "However, too little too late, Enzan!" he yelled and ran at Enzan with his sword raised.

Enzan blocked the first blow purely on reflex. The second blow he managed to block because Blues was yelling at him. He couldn't believe it, there was no way Netto would ever…

"What's wrong," Netto jeered, "You're loosing your touch."

Enzan glared at Netto and pulled back his sword and tried to cut through Netto's, maybe if he didn't have a weapon he could talk some sense into him.

They came together again, hilt to hilt and Netto tried to push Enzan down like he did with Laika but Enzan was ready for it. He weakened his push and let Netto fall forward from lack of balance. Then he swung his sword up and around in an attempt to get Netto to parry with the edge of his blade. Netto saw through it and smirked, half turning his sword so Enzan hit the flat of it. "Nice try," he said and they broke apart, jumping to opposite sides of the Dimensional Area.

Enzan glared at Netto and ran at him with his sword raised. Netto smirked and followed suit. "Pathetic," he said to Enzan and sent him flying face down into the dirt.

Enzan groaned and turned over. "Enzan-sama?" Blues asked.

"He's too strong," Enzan said. "What the hell did Dark Rockman do to him?"

Netto came down and landed over Enzan with his sword pointed at his throat. "Give me one good reason, and I swear I will," Netto said in a deadly whisper.

Enzan took one glance into Netto's eyes and he knew he was telling the truth. "Netto, don't do this," he pleaded.

Netto gave him an insane grin and raised his sword. "Too bad," he jeered and brought it down. Enzan shut his eyes and felt the sword graze the side of his arm. He looked up to see for a split second Netto looking at him with a horrified expression on his face. "Enzan…" he said softly.

Enzan looked to see that Netto had driven the sword through the side of his arm. Blood was coming out and it hurt like hell but something had changed his mind at the last second. "Netto?" he asked.

Netto's eyes returned to their blank state. "Consider that a warning," he said darkly and the sword disappeared. He jumped back to the far end of the dimensional area and Swallowman came running out of the building.

"We've done as you asked, Dark Rockman-sama," he said.

"Excellent," Netto grinned and the dimensional area disappeared. Everyone returned to their normal forms and Enzan's pain increased tenfold.

Netto smirked at him and caught his PET before it hit the ground. "Well, that's all for today, see ya!" he winked as another dimensional converter appeared and everyone watched as he disappeared with it.

Meiru collapsed on the ground in apparent shock. "No way," she breathed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"That was not Netto-kun," Rockman said. "He would never…"

"What happened?" Jasmine asked. "I knew Netto was kidnapped but…"

Manabe sighed and finished bandaging Enzan's arm. "I hate to say this, but for a navi as strong as Dark Rockman, brainwashing a human wouldn't be difficult."

"Then why isn't Netto-kun just a puppet or something!" Rockman cried. "Why did he say those things!"

"Rockman…" Roll said softly.

Rockman looked at the ground silently willing the tears away. "Why would he do such a thing?"

Enzan sighed, "I don't know. But I can say this much, when Netto had the chance to finish me off, he had every intention of doing it." Everyone let the information sink in. "But… he didn't. At the last second he changed his mind and somehow, I think that means that Netto is still in there. Rockman's right, that isn't Netto," Enzan said darkly.

Manabe patted Enzan's arm lightly. "Well, I can say you are lucky you only got away with that much damage. I'd like to believe you but for now, we're treating Netto as an enemy, understand?"

Everyone nodded numbly.

"I can't believe the kid would do something like this," Nenji said in a soft voice.

Charlie patted his arm, "It's because he wouldn't."

Rockman nodded and stood up. "I'm going to my PET," he said and he logged out.

"Poor Rockman," Meiru said softly.

OOOOOOOOOOOO
