Mamoru's Blizzard

Disclaimer: I do not own the Megaman/Rockman Battle Network game series.

Serenade stopped and turned to Mamoru. Unlike any situation he'd ever been in before, and to his displeasure, he was not the one in charge. Mamoru looked thoughtful.

"… How did you get so damaged?" asked Mamoru finally. Blizzardman sighed.

"I.. I used to be very bad, and was punished for it." said the Navi. "I've been sitting here… Near dead, since then… I should have just been deleted, but… I'm not like that any more though, I just want… To live."

"Oh." Serenade sighed and looked at Mamoru. Humans could be so trusting, though as far as Serenade could tell, this so called "Blizzardman" was not a threat, and he had the average amount of darkness most solo-Navis head, good or evil, and he didn't look to threatening. Now, two years ago, Serenade's opinion on Blizzardman would be quite different.

Serenade stared at Mamoru and knew what he was thinking.

"I can fix him." said Serenade. Blizzardman perked up, but surprisingly, did not ask. He turned to the ice Navi.

"Will you?" asked Mamoru quietly. Blizzardman's eyes widened.

"… Fine." said Serenade, looking down at the Navi. Though Serenade was slightly shocked by what was said by Blizzardman next.

"Don't. I was… I worked for Nebula." said Blizzardman softly. "You'll… Regret it."

Serenade just laughed mirthlessly.

"I've healed injured Navis before, WWW, Gospel, Nebula, and even weak criminals. But never one that didn't want to be healed…" Serenade chuckled and his eyes lit up. He turned to Mamoru. "Do you want me to, Mamoru?"

Mamoru was surprised. This was the first time that Serenade had shown any enthusiasm, or actually said his name.

"Of course!" exclaimed Mamoru.

"Very well…" Serenade turned to Blizzardman once more and held his hands out. "Are you ready?"

"Sure…" said Blizzardman, making a small whooshing sound as he did so.

"Good." Serenade leaned over and touched Blizzardman's icon. "Be warned, I will heal you. However, the intensity of my healing technique will cause great pain. I ask again, are you sure?"

"Yes." said Blizzardman firmly, his red eyes hard. Serenade smirked.

"Very well then…" Serenade's body began to glow, and the pink shields that constantly floated behind him began spinning around the two NetNavis, and the remains of Blizzardman began glowing even brighter than Serenade was.

"Wow…" whispered Mamoru, putting a hand in front of him to block out the massive amount of light coming from his computer screen. When the light faded, Blizzardman looked brand new and was standing up, his ski poles stuck into the ground in front of him. Blizzardman wiggled his fingers, as if surprised they could actually move, that someone had actually healed him.

A few moments passed. Serenade expected this, though he normally knocked out whoever he healed and set them outside the entrance of Undernet1, as if to say "Sorry, come back later and try again." No one he had ever healed had stayed conscious for long, whether due to the pain of being healed or due to Serenade knocking them out cold.

"I'm… You…" Blizzardman was speechless. True to what Serenade had said, it had been indeed painful. However, in all honestly, the punishment for failing a mission at Nebula was close. However, it had not been Nebula who had left Blizzardman there, but the one who had defeated him, some time ago. "You healed me… But I used to be Nebula? Why?"

"You looked honestly sorry." said Mamoru, his screen turning to be in Blizzardman's view. "And though you did do a lot of bad things, people and Navis can change. Blizzardman, I'm Mamoru Ura, and this is -."

"My name is unimportant." interrupted the Undernet King. 'No one, especially a former Nebula operative, needs to know I have healing abilities. Or that I was ever here… It is beneath me…'

"Oh. Well, thanks a lot." replied Blizzardman. His eyes closed, and it was obvious that even though he either didn't have a mouth or it wasn't visible, he was smiling. Opening his eyes up again, he turned to Mamoru.

There was silence. Not awkward silence, just silence. Blizzardman was moving various body parts, checking if they were working right, and Serenade was waiting for the hour to end. Mamoru was in deep thought.

"Hey Blizzardman." said Mamoru finally. Blizzardman stopped checking himself out and turned to Mamoru.

"Yes, um, Mamoru?" asked Blizzardman.

"Would you…" Mamoru coughed and took a deep breath in. He broke eye contact with Blizzardman and turned, wheeling into his room and grabbing a bottle of pills. Popping it in his mouth, Mamoru picked up a nearby bottle of water and took a long gulp. He took a few more breaths before coming back to look at the screen. Blizzardman looked concerned, and Serenade looked curious.

"Are you alright?" asked Blizzardman.

"Yeah… I just have some problems. I had surgery a few years ago, but I'm still recovering from it…" replied Mamoru weakly.

"Ah…" Serenade nodded, remembering the time when Mamoru was still sick. It had been the child running the Undernet for that short period of time, until his father had come back home and taken over the job.

"Oh…" Blizzardman frowned. "Will you ever get better?"

"Completely? Maybe, maybe not. But it's alright…" Mamoru looked over at the Iceball chip. "I… I have friends and I'm well enough to do lots of things that other people can't do due to their own problems, so I'm fine I guess…"

"Okay." replied Blizzardman, smiling again. Serenade suddenly froze and leapt into the air.

"Where are you going Serenade?" asked Mamoru. Serenade grinned.

"In seven seconds, I can go back to where I belong. I'm severing the link between me and your PET. You won't be logged off though, so you can stay and chat with your new friend. Now then, time's up." explained Serenade with a grin. He opened his palm and aimed it down. "Holy Gate!"

A white and blue portal opened up beneath Serenade just as he began falling. As it faded, Serenade was nowhere to be seen.

"That's a cool trick." remarked Blizzardman, looking up where Serenade once was. He looked over to Mamoru. "So um… How old are you?"

"Twelve, and I'm in sixth grade."

An hour had passed, and Serenade sighed as he sat on the top of the stairs. Darkman had returned, giving Serenade a report that viruses in the Undernet were acting odd. Serenade had ordered him to go inspect this, and if need be, battle a few.

"Master…" Serenade looked up, and at the bottom of the stairs stood Yamatoman.

"Yes?" questioned Serenade.

"I ran across Darkman on my way here. And-." started Yamatoman, before Serenade interrupted.

"How was your job?" questioned Serenade. "Did you delete those viruses that tried to hack in here?"

"Yes. I also recoded our firewalls." Yamatoman nodded. "Anyway, Darkman wanted me to tell you that he found a lead on whatever you told him to do and went to inspect it."

Serenade sat up and looked thoughtful for a moment.

'Probably a hacker… But just in case…' "Yamatoman, go to him and ask where he'll be going, then send me a message as to where that is, and join him." said Serenade. "I highly doubt its anything important, but we have to be sure…" Serenade nodded. 'Now then…'

Serenade stood up as Yamatoman ran through the Secret Net to the exit, slashing and deleting the viruses that got in his way. The ghosts of Navis that were wandering the Secret Net got out of Yamatoman's way as he passed.

"I think I'll go…" The only excuse Serenade had for his next move was morbid curiosity. He suspected, but he wasn't sure. So, taking a breath, Serenade held his arm out. "Holy Gate!"

Stepping through the gate, Serenade arrived back in the ACDC3 area, but across from where he had left an hour earlier. As he had suspected, Mamoru and Blizzardman were chatting happily.

"Say, um, Blizzardman?" Serenade heard Mamoru ask.

"Yeah?" replied Blizzardman.

"I don't have a NetNavi yet, and… Well, since you don't have an Operator… Would you like to be my NetNavi?" asked Mamoru hesitantly.

"Don't you want to customize one of your own?" asked Blizzardman.

"Well… I just wanted a NetNavi, and well… I like you." said Mamoru. "So…"

"Okay!" exclaimed Blizzardman.

Serenade chuckled.

'I was correct, as usual…' Smirking, Serenade stepped backwards into the gate, arriving at the top of the stairs in Secret Net3. However, upon arriving, he frowned. Yamatoman still hadn't sent him that message… Leaping to the bottom of the stairs, Serenade turned to the digital road. "I better go check it out… This is a bit suspicious… Holy Gate!"

Serenade entered the Gate. The Secret Net was then empty of any Navis, solo or operated. Soon, Serenade's gate faded, meaning it's creator had closed it.

Daisaku was clicking his mouse and typing rapidly, so focused in his work he did not notice his son enter the room. It was not until his NetNavi, a regular NormNavi who's only customizations were its colors, spoke up.

"Daisaku, your son is here." said his Navi. Daisaku coughed before turning around to see his son.

"Mamoru… Have you finished customizing your Navi?" asked Daisaku. Mamoru shook his head.

"Actually… I didn't customize him, but I have a Navi." said Mamoru. Daisaku nodded slowly. It was a rare event, but it was not unheard of. Heck, he had even heard a rumor that a former WWW Navi and a former Gospel Navi were on that team of NetNavis that was protecting the net from Nebula, those two years ago.

"Alright then Mamoru. I'll just shut down here and we'll go pick up the things you'll need." said Daisaku, pressing some buttons on his computer and Jacking Out his Navi. He turned to Mamoru. "Our first stop is the Netbattling shop in Electown. They sell PETs and NaviCustomizers there, and I'm getting you both. Then, we'll go to ACDC to get you a beginning folder, and finally, clothes shopping."

After getting an orange PET with light blue as the secondary color, and buying and installing the NaviCustomizer, Mamoru had transferred Blizzardman into his new PET and he and his father had gotten back on the Metro, to go to ACDC. As they stepped out of the Metroline and headed towards the chip shop.

"So Mamoru, how did you meet Blizzardman?" asked Daisaku, looking down at his son and his son's PET, which had Blizzardman's icon on it now. It was sitting in Mamoru's lap, who was bust wheeling himself.

"He was damaged and I asked Serenade to fix him up." replied Mamoru, looking down at Blizzardman. "He was hurt pretty bad…"

"I see…" Daisaku nodded to himself. He knew of Serenade's healing abilities, he was the first out of the two humans that knew of this ability. Only one NetNavi knew about it besides Blizzardman. He stopped when Mamoru stopped, then looked up. "Oh, we're here…"

The door rang as Mamoru and Daisaku entered the chip shop. It was a Saturday, so only Higsby, who ran the shop, and his employees were there. Higsby looked up from the counter.

"Oh, hello, huh!" exclaimed Higsby as the two Ura males arrived in front of the counter. "So… You recently got a Navi, right?"

"Yes sir." replied Mamoru. He looked down at Blizzardman. "I just got him, and I need a starting folder."

"Let me see what I've got here…" replied Higsby, looking through some folders under the counter. "I only have two left. One is a heat element based folder, and the other is aqua element based. Oh yeah, and you get one hundred blank chips for free, huh…"

"Aqua then." said Mamoru. Seeing as Blizzardman was an Aqua element NetNavi, it would make sense to use Aqua chips. However, Mamoru noticed a chip that looked interesting under the counter as Higsby was pulling out his folder. "What's that? Anti-Elec?"

"It's a bargain, 2500 Zenny." said Higsby. Mamoru grinned. He had set up his money account when he had gotten the PET, and looked down at it, he had 3250 Zenny. "

"I'll take it!" exclaimed Mamoru.

As soon as they were done at Higsby's, Mamoru, Blizzardman, and Daisaku went to buy clothes. And Mamoru learned why he always went clothes shopping with his mother. His father just couldn't, and when he did, he got everything.

In the end, Mamoru ended up with orange and blue shirts that had Blizzardman's icon either on the left chest area, the shoulders, or on the entire front, orange boxers with Blizzardman's icon printed all over them, as well as many other things with Blizzardman's icon, including a belt, a baseball cap, and more.

After shopping, Mamoru and Daisaku went home for lunch. Now, Mamoru was sitting at his computer, and he and Blizzardman were using a manual Mamoru had borrowed from his father to set up Mamoru's homepage. As Mamoru leaned back as far as he could in his hover/wheelchair, he looked at the ceiling.

"I can't wait to tell Hanabi and Keikan I finally have a NetNavi…" said Mamoru quietly.

"Mamoru, it's done!" exclaimed Blizzardman, popping up on Mamoru's screen. Mamoru smiled.

"Alright then… Well Blizzardman, I've got to do some homework and then we'll go virus busting, okay?" said Mamoru. Blizzardman smiled and nodded, and Mamoru pulled out his notebook from his desk, and began his homework.
