Chapter 5; DELETE!!!
"So, Netto-kun, what do you want to do with the rest of the day?" MegaMan asked as Netto was walking out of school down the sidewalk. He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know... what do you want to do?" Netto asked him. MegaMan scratched his head, trying to think of something fun or interesting to do. He came up with one thing. "How about we, um, go internet surfing?" He offered. The idea sounded exciting for Netto. "Sounds great! Let's go have some fun." He said, and MegaMan smiled. This would be the first time that Netto would experience the net with his NetNavi guide and new best friend. Netto ran to his room and set up his computer, tossing his bookbag in the corner, wanting to forget about work until their fun was over. "Almost there, it'll be up in a second." Netto said as he waited for his computer to boot up.
"I meant to ask you, do you have any more poems that you wrote?" MegaMan decided to start a conversation while they were waiting. Netto looked at him, with a little fear in his eyes. "You mean you saw that one in the notebook today in school? Oh yeah, you did..." Netto said. MegaMan guessed from his tone of voice that the poems were meant to be kept a secret, And not only from the teacher and those people in school, but from everyone including friends and family. "Do you mean to keep your writings a secret?" MegaMan asked. "I'd want to hide everything personal from my parents. It'd be embarrassing if they ever found out about my poems. They'd probably throw them all out." Netto said. He had a point. "And about telling my friends anything," Netto continued, "I don't have any friends." Megaman nodded. It was time to change the subject. "And what about me? You haven't talked to anyone about me or shown me to your parents yet." Megaman asked. "My parents wouldn't be too thrilled if they found out about you either. But then again, they probably wouldn't care." Netto said. MegaMan sighed. "You don't know that, Netto-kun. Maybe they'd be happy to meet me." He said.
Netto looked at his NetNavi on the computer screen, browsing the net for someplace fun to go to. "And you do have at least one friend, you've got me. That's what I'm here for, unless you want me here for more than that." MegaMan said, and opened the page to the Scilab Square, which was where a lot of NetNavis hung out. Netto wondered where he was taking him, but wanted to wait to be surprised. "I thought you'd want to visit your dad here, this is where he works, right?" MegaMan said. Netto's smile widened. "Yeah! How'd you know I wanted to see him?" He said excitedly. He wanted to see his dad and tell him about his NetNavi. "I just knew, I guess... you don't see him a lot, do you?" MegaMan asked. Netto shook his head no. "He's always stuck at work... it'd be nice to see him, but I guess it's okay this way too." Netto said as his NetNavi browsed the offices on the internet. He couldn't find him too easily, but eventually he found his desk and the caretaker program. They found out he was in a meeting, and wouldn't be coming back for at least 6 hours! "He's got a really busy job, doesn't he?" MegaMan laughed softly. He looked at Netto and saw that he looked unhappy. "I know, how about we leave a message for him saying that we were here?" He suggested. Netto's smile took back its place on his face. " 'Dear dad, we came to see you today but you were busy! Love Lan' is that message okay?" MegaMan showed him the message he had written. Netto nodded, and his NetNavi gave the caretaker program the message. It said it would deliver it to him as soon as he came into the office.
MegaMan left the office and was about to ask Netto what he wanted to do now that this task was over, but his attention was grabbed by the sound of startled and frightened NetNavis in the Scilab lobby. Netto followed MegaMan as his NetNavi peeked from where he was hidden behind the doorway of the elevator, so he wouldn't be seen but would be able to see what was going on. A light blue NetNavi that was dressed like an eskimo was blowing ice out of his mouth, freezing everything and everyone that got hit with his icy breath.
"Mega, what's going on?" MegaMan heard Netto asking him in a whisper, not wanting the other NetNavi to hear. "It's one of the WWW's NetNavis, a takeover of the Scilab. It's a Navi named IceMan." MegaMan answered back softly. Netto was shocked, having heard his father talk about them just the day before. "Something's not right, though. Oh, Iceman's operator is being made to do this to get his son back, who is being held captive by the WWW!" MegaMan realized. Netto held his breath. World Three didn't even hold back on holding children hostage! He was angry, and wasn't about to let what his dad told him hold him back from fighting World Three.
IceMan was headed MegaMan's way, and there was no way for him to run anywhere and not be seen. "MegaMan, we have to stop them." Netto said to his NetNavi, who looked at him and into his brave face. "It's the right thing to do, Netto-kun!" He said, and lunged at IceMan, alerting his operator Dr. Froid in the process. Netto ran out of the house, on the trail of Dr. Froid's lost son. He had to hurry, he felt very insecure and worried without being with MegaMan on the computer. What if he got frozen like the other Scilab NetNavis? What did World Three want with the Scilab?
He ran down the sidewalk to the store he had gotten his PET at, and saw a parked car right next to it, half hidden by bushes. It looked too suspicious to be just someone's car parked illegally. Netto opened the door, and out tumbled a young boy from the 4th grader class in his school, Dr. Froid's son. "Please stop my dad! Tell him I'm okay!" He gave Netto a message saying he was okay and Netto ran back home and back up to his computer to tell MegaMan the good news.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw what had been going on while he had been gone. MegaMan's feet were frozen to the floor and he was being assualted by IceMan, kicking up iceballs that he was making and throwing the hard pieces at him. MegaMan couldn't fight back because he couldn't move to attack. "Mega!!!!" Netto cried out, grabbing hold of the controls again. In doing so, the ice around MegaMan's feet melted, and Iceman was thrown back with shock that he had gotten free so easily from the ice. The other NetNavis he had frozen were still stuck in place, no matter what their operators or themselves were doing. That was what IceMan's job had been, to get everyone trapped so he could bring the Aquaprogram to World Three. Only then would they let his operator's son go.
"MegaMan!" Netto said. MegaMan nodded, and weakened IceMan enough to stop him but not enough to kill him. "Your son is alright. Please stop doing this." MegaMan said to IceMan, and gave him the message that Netto had transferred to him. IceMan immediately informed his operator of the news and he stopped the destruction that he was causing. IceMan took back all the ice that was trapping the NetNavis, and apologized for his actions. Father was reunited with son, and everything was alright.
MegaMan returned to Netto, who told his NetNavi that he was going to put a stop to World Three. "I don't want that to happen again. I want to stop them from trying to take over the world, or whatever they're doing." Netto said. MegaMan agreed with him. "I'll be right there beside you, Netto-kun!" MegaMan smiled, holding up a fist towards the sky as he was walking down the Cyber Square's internet sidewalk tracking down something fun again. "As will I, Mega." Netto whispered so that his NetNavi wouldn't hear him.
