My own Battle Network story.

My diary.

Last time, it was Dex's turn to show his stuff in the final of his block. But hearing the name of his opponent shocked him, his 12-year-old younger brother Chisao Oyama.

Of course, he remembered the promised he made when their father left them when Chisao was 3. That he would protect him from any harm. If he defeated him, he would be hurting his feelings.

And the battle went on. Dex tried everything to lose, but Chisao knew something was wrong with him, he told him that as long as he gave him a nice fair and square battle, and he would become stronger. So Dex showed his stuff and defeated Chisao's Dynamoman.Exe.

Dex won the final and got into the tournament. But still we were still waiting for Maylu, Thori, Yai and Brandon. It was Maylu's turn.

Chapter 48. – Roll's true power.

As Maylu tried to catch her breath from the last battle, Roll tried to cheer her up. The battles were hard, and this was the final battle of the block.

Maylu: "Pant pant" Are we done yet?

Roll.Exe: Nope, we still have one more fight before going into the tournament.

Maylu: Geez, look at me. I'm getting tired.

Roll.Exe: Well, let's keep it up because we have to check who our next opponent is.

Maylu: Yeah. You're right. Let's see…

Maylu checked the tournament board. The names were so familiar…

Maylu: Melissa Pierce and Venus.Exe.

Roll.Exe: WHAT?

Melissa: Hello Maylu.

Maylu turned around. Melissa was as beautiful as she was before. She was wearing black pant and a crimson red polo shirt like…

Maylu: Is that a choir uniform?

Melissa: Yeah. Remember that Aya told me about that choir school in Electown? I got the job. I have a class every afternoon from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. My girls already got a choir event in the Electopia choir competition in a week. So I came here to prove myself and to encourage the girls. They are even around here in the cafeteria waiting for the final of the block to see me fight.

Maylu: I'm so happy for you!

Melissa: And, I also had time to see your solo. Nice moves you got with the piano.

Maylu: Oh… thank you…

Venus.Exe: Roll! We have unfinished business!

Roll.Exe: Venus… You still owe me a fight.

Melissa: Look at this. The competition hasn't even started yet and they are going at it!

Maylu: I know this will be a good fight. We shall go to the platform now.

Melissa: In fact, I think the girls are waiting already. Let's go.

Maylu: Okay.

The two girls went to the platform where the other Netbattlers were waiting for the competitors. There were also a group of girls in choir uniforms accompanied by a blonde woman with blue eyes with blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a black jacket.

Melissa: Hey girls.

Girls: Hello Ms. Pearce.

Aya: You know. It isn't easy taking care of a group of girls. My wallet hurts.

Melissa: I feel sorry for asking you this favor Aya. But I needed someone to looks after the girls when I was battling.

Aya: It's okay. It is quite fun actually. Now go and win the battle.

Melissa: I will. Wish me luck.

Melissa stepped on one end of the terminal as Maylu stepped on the opposite end. Both girls looked at each other with respect.

Melissa: I have been waiting for this moment Maylu.

Maylu: A fair and square fight. Are you ready?

Maylu asked, as she got ready to jack in.

Melissa: Anytime you want girl.

Maylu: Jack in! Roll.Exe! Sweet!

Melissa: Jack in! Venus.Exe! Execute!

As the battlefield loaded up, the two divas beamed in taking their forms. The battlefield was very much like a meadow as midnight. With windmills around and a soft breeze of the nights in the summer.

Venus waved her right hand at her hair as she took a deep breath.

Venus.Exe: Well Roll, this is it.

Roll stared at her opponent as she took a guarding stance.

Roll.Exe: Time to settle this.

Announcer: And now, I shall declare the final battle of this block between Maylu Sakurai and Roll.Exe versus Melissa Pearce and Venus.Exe… started!

Maylu: AquaTower! BattleChip in! Download!

Roll curled her right hand in a fist as she hit the grass. A sudden rush of water sprouted in a tower as it gained speed towards Venus.

Melissa: We're ready for that! FireWhip! BattleChip in! Download!

Venus waved the red handle with a blazing aura that appeared on her hand as a sudden strike of red energy came from it. Like a whip, when it hit the ground, a powerful fire wave came out of it rushing towards the pillar of water. When the opposite elements touched each other, they turned into steam. Due to the steam, visibility was reduced greatly.

Roll.Exe: Damn! I can't see!

Maylu: Hang tight Roll! I'm sending a BattleChip to help you! Fan! BattleChip…

Venus.Exe: Sorry darling.

Roll.Exe: What?

Venus flashed in front of Roll as she unleashed a quick kick-sending Roll away. But fast enough, Venus swinged her whip grabbing Roll by the neck and slamming her onto the ground.

Maylu: Roll!

Melissa: Well done Venus.

Maylu: Dang! Fan! BattleChip in! Download!

A box took form in the air as its winds dissipated the steam curtain. Roll was on the ground trying to recover her balance as Venus stood in her sexy pose.

Maylu: Roll! Are you okay?

Roll.Exe: I'm fine… just a few bruises…

Maylu: You know what to do!

Roll.Exe: Okay! RollArrow!

Roll's right wrist turned into a buster, which sides opened up like a bow releasing an arrow.

Melissa: Now try the IceWhip! BattleChip in! Download!

Venus's whip turned blue with a cold snowflake aura and she spun it in front of her like a shield releasing a sudden blizzard which froze the incoming arrow.

Roll.Exe: What?

Maylu: Oh no!

Venus.Exe: And now, let's see if the whip training works!

Maylu: Roll! Look out!

Melissa flashed in front of Roll unleashing a quick whip combo. Simple diagonal slash, then a second opposite diagonal strike, when a quick body-wrapping move to attract Roll, then a quick fierce ground snap to lift Roll on the air. Then a quick upper attack to keep her there, and a quick two diagonal light hit, then a fierce diagonal double hit, and then a ground slam. And as Roll bounced off the ground, a powerful fierce slash with the whip as Roll landed on the ground after the quick flashing combo.

Venus.Exe: Whew… That was fun.

Roll.Exe: Maylu! I can't stand up!

Maylu: Hang in there Roll! I'm sending a recovery Chip!

Melissa: Not so fast. ThunderWhip! BattleChip in! Download!

Venus's whip turned from blue into yellow as an electric aura came from it. She made a quick snap grabbing Roll's neck as she pulled her in the air. Then she made a quick slam against one of the windmills' Roll came from the other side with traces of flour as the insides of the windmill came out like wood and flour.

Venus.Exe: Ha ha ha ha! This is girl-power!

Melissa: Ready to lose Maylu?

Maylu: Damn! Roll isn't doing good! Hang tight Roll!

Roll.Exe: I will never give up!

Roll stood on her feet grabbing the whip. She pulled as hard as she could try to pull Venus to her.

Venus.Exe: Why the feeble efforts? You know you can't win!

Roll.Exe: At least… I'm doing my best… Maybe I will not win, but that doesn't mean I should try!

Roll pulled hard enough to get Venus off her feet. And as Venus came flying to her, Maylu used the chance.

Maylu: Right on! Godhammer! BattleChip in! Download!

A sturdy looking hammer appeared on Roll's hands. She made a few spins trying to get strength, and when Venus was close, she user her strength to swing the heavy hammer and hit Venus away.

Roll.Exe: Up, up and away! It's a home run!

Venus used the chance to use her whip and wrap it on a windmill, she used the whip to turn around in the air and used the impulse for a quick flying kick, and she succeeded on kicking Roll. She stood on her grounds. She checked her mouth; there was a little trace of blood from the hammer smack.

Venus.Exe: That was tougher than I expected. But it is time to finish you! Melissa!

Melissa: On my way! RoseWhip! BattleChip in! Download!

Venus's whip turned into a green one with a rosebud hilt and thorns on the whip. She walked slowly towards Roll. Roll was still on the ground, unconscious.

Maylu: Roll! Wake up! Please wake up!

Melissa: Venus, please don't be so harsh on her.

Venus.Exe: I don't promise anything there.

Venus reached Roll, wrapped her whip around her neck and lifted her up. Struggling Roll's neck. Weak Roll tried to take the whip off her, but she was very weak.

Maylu: ROLL!

Roll.Exe: "Gasp" May… lu…

Venus.Exe: Oh shut up!

Venus pulled harder, and Roll fainted.

Maylu: ROLL!

Maylu could only watch… the painful moment… maybe she never wasn't meant to battle in the first place… maybe she was only meant to be rescued… But in that moment, a strange screen appeared on Roll's PET screen. Like…

Maylu: Is this… Is this a new style?

Maybe it was… but a style for Roll? There was no time to think on the battlefield. She had to trigger it.

Maylu: Melissa, this battle is over!

Melissa: What?

Maylu touched the icon on the screen. It was an icon with angel wings and a flash of warm light.

Maylu: Roll.Exe! Twilight Style! Activate!

Suddenly, a warm light came from Roll. That light engulfed her as it repelled Venus. Venus watched as the silhouette inside changed. And after the light dissipated, two enormous angel wings opened revealing a new Roll, a white one with blonde hair instead of energy laces. She opened her eyes are they sparkled with a haze of blue.

Venus.Exe: He, just a new style won't do as much for you!

Venus waved her whip, but it froze on its midway to Roll. Roll had her right arm lifted as she waved it sending the whip away.

Venus.Exe: What?

Roll.Exe: And now, it's time for your punishment!

Roll lifted her hands as a wave of pure energy accumulated within her. The energy ball appeared on her hands.

Venus.Exe: Why you? HYAAAAA!

Venus ran to Roll. But in the moment before she gained contact with her, Roll waved her hands at her with a new attack.

Roll.Exe: Angel Wings!

The energy surrounded Venus as a cyclone of white feathers engulfed her. After the attack, Venus collapsed on the ground. Then she logged out.

"Venus.Exe, logging out."

Announcer: And I shall declare Maylu Sakurai and Roll.Exe as the winners of the block!

Everyone cheered and roared in happiness and amusingness for the incredible deployment of the two girls.

Roll shone as she returned to her former self.

Maylu: That was amazing Roll. Jack out, you deserve a good rest.

Roll.Exe: Yeah.

"Roll.Exe, logging out."

Maylu walked to the girls. Melissa didn't looked down, but she was apologizing to the girls.

Melissa: Look, I'm sorry I didn't win. I really wanted to cheer up girls.

Girl A: Don't worry Ms! You showed us that even you tried, and did an awesome battle!

Girl B: We may not win, but we should do our best!

Aya: Yeah. Besides, you'll have your victory for second place of the block.

Melissa: Thank you girls. I have the best friends in the world. And Maylu, I'm sorry for the way Venus acted against Roll.

Maylu: Don't worry. She's like the toughest female Navi I ever seen. I know you two shall get the victory at the choir competition.

Melissa: Yeah, thanks. And that Twilight style, Roll was meant for fighting all along. But she was a little slow too.

Maylu: Yeah, (Chuckles) just a little slow.

Melissa: Anyways, we better get going. We have a bus to catch. See ya around Maylu.

Maylu: Good luck Melissa!

Melissa: You too…

Melissa, Aya, and the rest of the girls went away leaving Maylu and Roll alone.

Roll.Exe: Hey Maylu, don't you think we better get to the central dome with the other winners?

Maylu: Yeah. We might see Lan and the others. Let's go.

Roll.Exe: Aye captain!

And the victors head to the central dome of Castillo.

That makes four of us in the tournament. And Thori's next against his only rival.
