Chapter 4: Metal, Fur and a Psycho Teen

Roll was getting tired of the inane song Shiningman sang as they walked through the forest on the yellow path. Covering her ears, she tried to ignore the horrible sound coming from the "heroic" navi. Rush was getting fed up two and bit Shiningman on the leg.

"That...was no painful," the navi said holding his leg as tears filled his eyes. Roll rolled her as at this false bravado.

"H...l..p" Came a strange sound from behind a tree. Approaching cautiously, the two navis and virus looked behind the digital plant. Standing there was a red, blue and gray navi. He stood taller than both Roll and Shiningman and looked very powerful. His arms were extremely muscular and gears were inset on his head, hands and back. "O...l...p..r..g..m" the strange navi muttered.

"What do you think he's trying to say?" Roll asked Shiningman.

"He is, of course, a spy sent to slay us! I will finish him!" The shining navi yelled standing in a battle pose. Roll grabbed his arm remembering the last attempt he had at fighting.

"He doesn't look like he can move," she murmered walking around the unknown metallic navi. "Maybe he's a prisoner." Then, something caught Roll's eyes. On the ground near the strange stolid program was a small bit of data. "An oil program!" She called in happiness. Grabbing it up, she put it onto the navi. Instantly, he began to move and speak.

"Thanks a ton," he said, moving his arms and legs and smiling. "I've been stuck there for three days. I was fighting some Bunny viruses and got paralyzed and I needed someone to apply an oil program to fix me. Anyway, I'm MetalMan. And who might you three be?"

Roll quickly introduced the trio to MetalMan. "...and we're going to see the wizard." She finished.

MetalMan pondered a moment. "I should like to accompany you. You see, I feel like something is missing in my life and possibly the wizard can find it." He bent down close to her to whisper in her ear "I'll also be a better bodyguard than that psycho over there." As he pointed to Shiningman, he was currently trying to attack one of the trees which resembled WoodMan.

"We should get going," Roll called and skipped along the yellow path with her three companions in tow. Not long after, they came to a darker part of the woods. Viruses floated darkly behind trees, waiting to spring on the unsuspecting group. The group, except for MetalMan, shuddered as they walked along. Suddenly, a load roar filled the area and a wild looking navi jumped out from behind a tree and growled at them. Rush ran away but the other three stood their ground.

"Get behind me, Roll," MetalMan said getting ready for a combat. However, the navi started to sob.

"What's wrong?" Roll asked him, walking nearby.

"Well...you see...I didn't mean to scare you..." The Navi said. "I am BeastMan. Could I come with you guys?"

"You a mind reader or something?" Roll asked. "Fine, come with us. You can help these other two "guard" me as we go to the wizard."

"Ok then," he said, and they walked off singing happily. However, in his secret lair of evil, Coloredman was plotting...

Anyway you don't wanna hear about him, it's time for Lan!

Rushing like a person on the Atkins diet from bread, Lan fled down alleys and streets to escape the psychotic Mayl.

"You bastard get back here!" She screamed riding her scooter and wildly swinging the mallet.

"Damn!" Lan cried. Then, he noticed something that might save him. "Dex's house? Nah, he's probably molesting Chisao. Yai? No, I'd have to hear her damn prissy voice...that leaves only one option..."

Eugene Chaud had been practicing deleting wimpy navis for the past six hours and finally took a break. Walking over to his living room, he sat down on the coach. "What show today Blues?" he asked his navi.

"No clue." His friend replied. "Hey, why am I called by my Japanese name while all the others are called by their American names?"

"Because the author thinks Protoman sounds dumb," he replied.

"Yeah...let's watch the Violence and Gore channel!" Blues answered. Just as Eugene lifted the remote, his door burst open and cries filled the air.

"Hide me hide me!" Lan screamed. "She'll kill me!"

"What the hell are you babbling on about Hikari?" Chaud snorted.

"Hey you owe me, I found you that porn web..." A hand clamped over Lan's mouth.

"I told you not to mention that!" Chaud screamed. "Anyway fine, you can hide in my secret lair, follow me."

And thus did Lan and Eugene Chaud venture into the heart of his multi-billion dollar mantion in search of safety for Lan.
