Tohru had been entrusted to the currently newest cross fusion chip, given to him by his father.

"Now you must promise me son, don't use this unless the water plant is in EXTREME danger, understand?" he placed his big hands on Tohru's shoulders.

"Yes, father." He said quietly.

Why such a thing had been given to him he had no idea. He wasn't a particularly good net battler and his navi wasn't exactly strong. Well, Iceman was strong, but not strong like Rockman or Blues. Regardless he held the small battle chip in a locket case around his neck incase the need arose to use it. Thankfully no such thing had been needed in the five weeks since he got it.

"So Tohru, do you think we'll ever need to use it?" asked Iceman

Tohru shook his head. "I hope not."

"Why?"

"Because, I'm not a fighter, and in all respect neither are you." Said Tohru gently.

Iceman nodded. "Yeah, I guess so."

Slur came down into the room of one of the disgruntled employees that had been laid off from the Water Plant a week ago.

"I have a present for you." She said

The man looked at her like she was insane. Foolish human.

Tohru was eating his dinner in the plant while waiting for his father to get off work. He and Iceman chatted easily while Tohru ate his ramen. Today was a day for relaxing, his father even hinted at going to play baseball at the park after he was done. But while they were in the midst of their conversation the red infiltration alarm rang overhead.

"W-what's that?" asked Tohru.

"Plug me in Tohru-kun!" said Iceman.

Tohru nodded and plugged in his small navi. Iceman appeared in the main computer and looked around, to his horror everything was frozen solid and all the programs were gone. "Wh-who did this?" he called out

He heard a cackle behind him and spun around to see Freezeman standing behind him. "Hello." He said raising his hand.

"Area steal!" Tohru slotted in the battle chip before his precious friend could be squashed.

As the icicles rose from the ground Iceman quickly dodged them and appeared behind Freezeman. "Stop right there!" he yelled.

But Freezeman disappeared in a shower of pixles and not re-appearing anywhere inside the server.

"Where did he go?" Tohru asked quietly.

Iceman shrugged, but then they heard a yell from down the hall. Tohru's eyes widened. "DAD!" he yelled and took off in pursuit.

Tohru skidded to a halt right outside of his dad's office and saw Freezeman and another man he knew vaguely from his time spent in the treatment plant.

"So, you thought you could fire me?" the man asked. "Well, I don't think so. You know my girlfriend left me for loosing my job!"

Tohru's dad shook his head. "I-I'm sorry but we couldn't keep the current number of employees and you didn't have a very good record so…"

The man lifted a hand and Freezeman smiled, but before anything could happen Tohru ran inside and stood in front of his father. "NO!" he yelled

The man and Freezeman were temporarily shocked, giving Tohru's dad enough time to press a red button on the control panel. All emergency dimensional areas had been given to any facility that was under high risk of attack, just in case Mejin wasn't there to help.

"Tohru!" his dad yelled as the multicolored area came up around the small building. "Remember what we talked about."

Tohru looked at his dad and nodded, he knew his dad didn't want him to face such danger, but if he was needed to save the plant and thousands of people, then he would.

"Iceman!" he yelled.

"I'm here!" said Iceman

Tohru held the chip to the side of his PET and gulped. "Cross fusion." He said in a small whisper.

Tohru had never felt anything like it; it was like he was getting stronger, but also more agile and faster as well. Everything in his body became infused with power. When he opened his eyes he looked to see everyone staring openly at him. He blushed but heard Iceman's voice in his ear. "It's okay Tohru-kun, I'm here."

Tohru relaxed and summoned a battle chip. "Triple Blizzard!" he yelled and three gusts of snow came out of nowhere and froze the navi and operator. Freezeman broke free and disappeared down the hall.

Tohru's dad ran to the helpless operator. "Go!" he yelled, "I can take care of him."

Tohru nodded and ran down the hall in pursuit of Freezeman. He ran by a mirror and took a quick peak at himself as he passed by. Tohru was shocked, all it looked like was that he was wearing an Eskimos clothes and he had the navi symbol on his chest. Yes he felt so powerful, crossfusion was truly amazing.

Tohru finally caught up to the navi and summoned a sword. He pointed it at Freezeman just as he was about to destroy the turbines. "Stop!" he yelled

Freezeman turned to face his new prey and smiled. He didn't even say anything and launched himself at Tohru.

Tohru countered and parried the attack with his sword. He wasn't injured but the sword was snapped in half.

"Think you've had enough kid?" Freezeman asked and he raised his hand.

Tohru jumped so as to not get impaled on the sharp spiked of ice, then he got an idea.

"Hey, stupid over here!" he yelled. Iceman was shocked, he had never heard Tohru use such language.

Freezeman followed and Tohru ran into the room where they boiled the water to kill the bacteria.

"Ohhhh, I see." Said Iceman. "Good idea."

Tohru grinned. "Thanks." He said breathlessly.

Freezeman appeared and Tohru wasn't given time to think. Freezeman lashed out and sent him into a large boiler.

"Had enough kid?" Freezeman asked.

Tohru looked at the boiler; he was only going to have one shot at this. "Blizzard!" he yelled and froze the handle. Then Freezeman and sent his fist into where Tohru currently had been. The force of the blow jarred the handle and shattered it. Then the door opened and tons of boiling hot water came pouring out. Freezeman didn't even have time to scream before he was deleted.

Tohru and his dad watched the man being led away.

"He was laid off last week because of downsizing. How sad." Said his father.

"Ummm, dad, I'm sorry about breaking the boiler." Tohru said fidgeting.

Tohru's dad put his hand on Tohru's head and rubbed it affectionately. "It's all right son. At least you're safe. That's all that matters."

Tohru smiled and looked at his dad. "Thank you, dad."

"So, want to hit the park?" his dad asked.

Tohru laughed. "I'd never thought you'd ask!"

"Yay!" cheered Iceman.
