Serenade sighed as he felt himself enter the Net. He did not like this idea, however, he was a Navi of his word and planned to go through with it. After all, what could possibly happen in one and a half hours?
'… Well, let's get started…' thought Serenade. He looked up and Mamoru's face appeared before him on a screen. "Alright then, do you actually have battle chips?"
Mamoru smiled and reached over to something Serenade could not see.
"I have a few. Not a folder, but…" Mamoru trailed off.
"I can use one offensive chip efficiently enough to defeat one virus per chip, as viruses here aren't very smart, nor are they the brightest of creatures." stated Serenade. "What do you have?"
"I've got an Iceball chip, a few Cannons, a Yo-Yo, and an Asteroid. Is that enough?" asked Mamoru, looking at the Navi on the screen. It frowned, before taking on a thoughtful expression.
"It will do. What about blanks?" asked Serenade. Mamoru blinked and showed one chip to the screen.
"There were five in the box with the PET. What are they for?" asked Mamoru. Serenade sighed.
"When you defeat a virus well enough, which I will be doing and much more than well enough, you insert a blank chip so the data you got can be added to the chip." Mamoru's face was blank and Serenade rubbed his temples. "Okay, defeat a Mettaur1 well enough and you'll get some data. Put in a blank chip and use that data, and the blank chip becomes either a Guard1 or a Shockwave chip, depending on what data you get from the Mattaur1. Understand now?"
"Uh huh." replied Mamoru, setting the blank chip to the side and noting to get a lot of blank chips for later on.
"Good, oh and also." added Serenade. "When you defeat Navis on the net, they might give up chip data. Also, humans can give each other chips of their Navis. Use a blank chip and select download Navi data on your PET… In fact…"
"What?" asked Mamoru. Serenade nodded to himself before turning back to Mamoru.
"I'll let you download my chip data." said Serenade. "But, if I do that, I take off half an hour of the time I've agreed to work with you. Also, my chip data is very powerful and a Giga Chip. Only one Giga Chip is allowed in a folder."
"… I'll do it." said Mamoru, plugging in a Blank Chip. He selected the Download Navi Data option and waited. After a few moments, the chip popped out with a picture of Serenade on it. Mamoru set it to the side and turned to Serenade. "Okay, should we start?"
"Yes." Serenade made a motion with his hands, and at the bottom left of Mamoru's temporary PET screen, a timer appeared set for one hour. It began counting down and Serenade started walking. "Let's begin. Remember, look around a lot while we do this. Remember things… Hm, here's some Mystery Data."
Serenade walked over to the Green Mystery Data that was spinning in front of him.
"Mystery Data is always different. Green is just something random and it's value depends on the area you're in. Blue data contains rarer, sometimes one of a kind items. Purple data needs to be unlocked by an Unlocker sub chip, and is just like Blue data, sometimes even more valuable." explained Serenade. He touched the Mystery Data and it opened up. "Hm. You now have 350 more Zenny."
"Okay…" Mamoru watched as his total money was added on the screen, going from zero to three hundred and fifty.
"Your money, once you get a regular PET, will all be stored there. So you'll have to do that a bit later…" said Serenade as he walked past where the data was. "Anyway, shall we move on?"
"Sure." said Mamoru.

About forty five minutes later, Serenade stepped into ACDC3, and area where most Navis didn't go to due to Nebula taking control of it some time ago. The ones who did enter either didn't know, didn't care, or made mad dashes to the end where the entrance to the SciLab Net area was.
"So… What have we got left?" asked Serenade, looking up at Mamoru.
"Just your chip, the last of the three Mark Cannon1 we got, and my Iceball." replied Mamoru. Serenade nodded and looked around the area.
"There are some tougher viruses in this area. Nothing to worry about, but you want another chip before we finish, right?" asked Serenade, looking up. Mamoru's face appeared on a screen.
"Right." replied Mamoru. Then he spotted something. "Hey look, Blue Mystery Data! Can you check it out, Serenade?"
"Fine." replied Serenade, walking over to the data and accessing it. "Mm… Interesting. HP Memory. Save it for your Navi."
"Okay." said Mamoru, storing the HP Memory a file. "Hey, what's over there?"
Serenade looked in the direction that Mamoru had pointed on the screen, when some viruses popped up.
"Bugtanks. 80 HP each. Three of them." reported Serenade. Mamoru nodded.
"Iceball, battle chip in!" Mamoru put the chip into the PET, and in Mamoru's hand appeared a dark blue cannonball. As one of the Bugtanks stopped, Serenade jumped into the air.
"Iceball!" yelled Serenade, throwing the ball right on top of the Bugtank farthest away. It was destroyed before it could fire, and all that was left of the virus or the attack was an icy panel. Serenade spun in the air, releasing a wave of energy at the Bugtank further away than the closer one. "Shockwave!"
"One more to go… But the Mark Cannon doesn't do enough damage." said Mamoru, looking down at the chip in his hand. Serenade had already used a few of his own techniques, and Mamoru didn't want him to use too many. There were other Navis around then, but in this case… "Serenade, battle chip in!"
Serenade blinked as in front of him, an exact duplicate of himself appeared and used his Holy Shock technique, before vanishing. The Bugtanks left behind some data, which as Mamoru had learned, could also be Zenny or health recovery instead of chip data. However, it was indeed chip data.
"Crack Bomb data. Since we're at the last chip, I'll explain something to you." Serenade turned to Mamoru's screen. "When you don't have a blank chip, just save the data of whatever it was. Then transfer it to a chip when you get a blank. Got it?"
"Yeah, thanks Serenade. But I'll take the chip now since I'm going shopping for stuff with my dad when you and I finish up." replied Mamoru, inserting the blank chip. He selected the Download Chip Data and when the chip ejected, it now bore a picture of a Bugtank firing it's cannon. "Anyway, can you check that thing out?"
"What thing?" asked Serenade, looking back to the area Mamoru was telling him to inspect. He couldn't see anything, but unfortunately, he had to listen to the kid. 'I shouldn't have agreed to this…'
Serenade walked towards whatever said he saw, and was surprised that he felt the presence of a NetNavi there. Weak and near deletion though…
"You were right." admitted Serenade as the Navi came into view.
The Navi's body seemed be a large sphere. A jagged, light blue line went through the vertical middle. Above the middle was orange and below it was white. It's legs were black and it's boots were blue, and attached to them were green skis. It's helmet looked like a snow-hat, and under the blue visor were it's red eyes. It's small black arms went into large gloves, and lying to it's side were two ski poles. It's icon was a small white circle over a larger one, a snowman, in a black background. The surrounding ring was red.
It looked very damaged, data was floating nearby and it looked much worse for ware than it should have. Mamoru frowned.
"Serenade… Is it alive?" asked Mamoru. Serenade stepped forward and looked at it.
"I can't tell." replied Serenade, not really caring. It wasn't in the Undernet, so it wasn't his concern. If it was in the Undernet, he would restore it, knock it out, and leave.
"Can you test it?" asked Mamoru as politely as he could. Serenade sighed.
"Fine." After saying this, Serenade kicked the Navi. It's red eyes turned towards Serenade.
"H-Help me…" whispered the Navi, making a whooshing sound as it talked.
"What's your name?" asked Serenade quickly, before Mamoru could input anything.
"Blizzardman…" replied the Navi, making another whooshing sound and looking at Serenade and the screen behind the Undernet King, which held Mamoru's face. "What do you want… With me?"
