Chapter 5: A rose, is not only beautiful...
Tommy Ichijouji:
Tommy is a ten-year-old girl whose parents died when she was very young. She was passed on through her aunts and uncles who didn't want her so she left their homes and decided to survive on her own by netbattleing. Because of this, she is one of the greatest netbattlers; and even though she is a child, she is very dark and because of her dark past; she is very mature. Even though she does have majority of her childhood like experiences; when she wants to, she could rival a college professor. Her netnavi is Rose.exe. (Hey Tina, email me okay? I need to ask you something)
Rose.exe:
Rose is the netnavi of Tommy. Her green body, and red outfit; fit her like they should, a beautiful flower yet as dangerous as the darkness and the secrets that plants sometimes hold. She is a master of close combat and because she has been with Tommy through her life, she uses childhood tactics to destroy their defenses as well as uses the street tactics that they learnt. Unlike most navis she does not wear a helmet and this allows her to move more freely because she doesn't have it weighing her down. She would do anything for Tommy. She may be a flower, but a deadly one.
Kiser:
Nothing is known about Kiser except for a little bit of information that had been spread over a period of time. He is a mysterious person and his navi Chaos is just as mysterious. He can always be found in a black robe, covering his anti-social face. He is a master battle chip builder though and is known for his creation of many different program advances.
Chaos.exe:
Chaos is just like his operator Kiser, anti-social and mysterious. Like his operator he also always dons a robe but instead his is red. Not many have ever seen this navi without his robe, and the ones who have seen him without it, have never been seen again...
Jimmy Moore:
Jimmy is a high school detective, and the greatest one out there. He is the person that you go to if there is ever something that you need found. He is a soccer ace as well as a netbattler. His navi is Conan.exe
Conan.exe:
Conan is the netnavi of Jimmy. He is basically just like the little kid version of his operator. He is best known for his kick, and his great decetive work on the cyber world.
Spell Program Advance:
Normally a program advance requires only chips to work but there are a few that require a spell to make it work because it is really that powerful. The purpose of the spell is to gather more power into the chips. The thing is though, most of these are dark spells, like the dragon slave, and this means, that every time that you use one, you are placed with a tiny dark soul inside of your body, which could make your navi cross over into the dark side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A young woman is walking down an alleyway. She is wearing a bandanna with a red rose and a green background. Her black pants are in perfect unison with her green tree like shirt and she has a sour look on her face.
"Do you understand your mission?" said a dark man from the other side of the girl's pet "Yes, I do." Said the girl "What is it?" "My mission is to observe. I am allowed to battle but not to delete. Megaman and Protoman are my targets." Said the girl frowning "Yes, that is right." Said the man with a smile "Why can't I delete them?" "Because, that is Sonya's current mission, if she should fail, then you will have a turn." Said the man "Understood." "Now, go and enter. And do not delete them... observe their tactics, so that you can practice them for when your turn comes across." "Okay. Thorn signing out." Said the young girl as she placed the pet back inside of her pocket.
"You will regret it." Came the voice of a man from the darkness. A grin played on the girl's face as she turned around to find the source of the voice behind her, leaning on the wall. "Ahh, the mysterious Drake Dragon, what do I owe the pleasure for this visit?" said the girl, walking over to the man "You have a chance to turn around, go down a different path." Said Drake looking at the younger girl "This is the easiest, and why do you care? Huh, have a thing for little girls?" said Thorn with a smile "Shut up. I came to warn you that is all. I have no feelings for you, or anyone else on this team. My purpose is not clear to anyone, not even myself. But don't forget what I have said, you have time..." said the man as he walked off. Thorn closed her eyes in thought and as she prepared to say something she opened them but... the man was already gone. "Sorry Drake, but this is the only way, I have to survive." She whispered to herself as she hugged the pet in her hand as she walked through the darkness on her way to the prelims. "I do feel kind of sorry for the girl though, so young and having to go through so many things..." said Drake, on the top of the roof. Watching the young woman walk off. "Hey, we need to get to the tournament." Said a voice from his Pet "Oh yea, well lets go!" he said, changing his clothes and then running towards the tournament grounds.
-Two hours later-
"Hello all and welcome to the Armageddon Tournament!" came the voice of Chaud Eugene "All of you here today, are fighting for the chance to call yourselves masters! And the greatest netbattler of all!" The roar of screams erupted through the arena, all-coming from excited netbattlers. "Okay, today is the day for the prelims and I know that we all can't wait! So without further ado! Let's start!" he said, stepping down from the stage and into the audience, until he ran into a group of people that he knew all to well. "Ready to lose?" he asked, looking at his rival Lan "Of course not, I'm going to win." Said Lan with a smile "We will see then." Chaud replied, turning to walk off.
"Hey mega? Ready to kick some sorry behind?" Lan asked "You bet!" said Mega pumping his fist. Then Chaud's voice began to play again into the center "The tournament is now beginning!" he said causing everyone to look at him confused "Huh what about the prelims!?" asked Lan looking at his rival "Oh yea, well when you signed up you received a chip to place inside of your pet, this chip decided if you were going to be in this tournament!" he said "Now, take the card and chip that you got when you registered to see who you will battling!" Lan downloaded his chip into his pet and the name Dex appeared on his screen, about the same time that a grin appeared on his and Dex's face. "You ready to eat dirt Lan?" Dex asked "Sure, but we can make mud pies after I beat cha'!" said Lan grinning "Okay, those who are battling, please step to the arena now!" came the voice of Den Tech employ... Aynos Labze (Who can figure out who this is? I'll give ya a cookie!)"You ready?" Lan asked "You bet!" said Mega "Let's show this boy who the greatest of ACDC is!" said Dex "Yea, GUTS!"
"Okay! Here is the Lineup!"
1st) Tommy Ichijouji vs. Jimmy Moore
2nd) Dex vs. Lan Hikari
3) Maylu vs. Tory
4th) Sean vs. Dimitri
5th) Yai vs. Higsby
6th) Chaud vs. Kiser
7th) Anthony Farley vs. Resha Valentine
"And now with that, I dub the Armageddon Tournament open!" yelled Aynos as a loud roar sounded around the entire arena.
"Will our first two battlers please jack in now?" she asked, watching as Tommy and Jimmy jacked into the battlefield. "So... he sent her to watch over me eh?" Aynos whispered looking at the young ten year old. "Rose.exe jack in!" yelled Tommy and "Conan.exe beat her down!" by Jimmy. "Here we have a special treat! Tommy, is one of the youngest netbattlers in the world and she is also up there with some of the greatest netbattlers out there as well! And Jimmy is well known for being a soccer ace and a netbattler who has no problem kicking balls at you!" yelled Aynos
"Are you ready to lose little girl?" said Jimmy as he grinned and twirled a battle chip in his hand "Whatever...." Said the young girl looking at her navi "You ready Rose?" Tommy asked; giving her navi a thumbs up with her gloved hand "Yep." Said the red and green navi "You may begin!" yelled Aynos starting the first battle of the tournament.
"Go Conan! Cyber Sword Battle Chip In Download!" yelled Jimmy as his navi ran towards the beautiful flower and as his hand transformed into a blade "Rose, you know what to do right?" said the young girl looking at her nodding and grinning navi "Game over!" said Conan as he reached the rose, but as he sliced through, the girl navi disappeared, leaving nothing but air. "Huh!? Where did she go?" said Jimmy and Conan looking around the battlefield, finding nothing. At least that was until Conan began to twitch violently "Conan! What's wrong!?" yelled Jimmy, holding his pet in his hand "I don't know! It's like I'm in a thorn field, I can't move!!" said Conan between breaths "What?" said Jimmy "It's called the thorn tie." Said Tommy, smirking "What?" said Jimmy "It's one of Rose's special Program Advances." Said Tommy; following her invisible navi's movement with her eyes "Conan!" yelled Jimmy "Don't worry it will be over soon." Said the little girl as her navi once again became visible "Real soon... thorn dart battle chip in!" she said downloading the data into her navi as Rose raised her two hands into the air and pointed them at the thorn tied Conan. "Thorn Dart!" yelled Rose as her body began to glow a bright red and then thorns began to grow "GO!" she yelled and one hundred darts headed towards the helpless navi. Just as the darts reached the navi, a grin appeared on Jimmy and Conan's faces as Conan yelled "Reverse shot!" a battle chip that Jimmy had placed in the pet in the beginning of the match and this chip caused all of the darts to instally reverse and hit Rose instead "Huh!? Rose?" said Tommy, looking shocked "Ha! Only one truth will prevail!" yelled Jimmy, a grin playing on his face as he placed in another battle chip into his pet.
Conan ran towards the fallen Rose at hyper speeds, his feet glowing, as if he was powering up. As he almost reached Rose, he jumped into the air, high above the girl navi and then transformed both of his hands into blades. Jimmy took this chance to place in another chip as he said "Tornado battle chip in!" Conan began to spin, slowly at first but then he picked up speed, wind rolling aroud his body, as if he were controlling it. "Okay, Conan! Red Wind Tornado Program Advance!" Jimmy yelled as his navi then began to glow a bright red and then a tornado began to form along with his body. As it reached the ground, Rose watched with a calm attitude, not moving an inch, even when it was over her and then picked her up. The moment she was picked up into the tornado, it was engulfed in flames, a gasp was heard from the audience as they all knew that Rose had burnt. As the tornado died down, Conan dropped down to the floor with a grin and waited, waited for the Signing out sign to appear... it never came.
Laughter could now be heard, coming from the sky, disoriented, as if it was coming closer at mach 9 speeds... Conan never even saw what hit him. "Rose! You ready?" asked Tommy, holding up three chips in her hand. "Oh yea, lets end this, I want a real match!" she yelled as Tommy then tossed her pet into the air and with great skill placed in the three battle chips yelling "Poison Ivy, Dark Woods, Armageddon Sun! Battle chips in! DOWNLOAD! Forbidden Memories Program Advance!" the moment that this was yelled, the screen lost all color; as a pitch black covered the fighting arena. Nothing could be heard or seen, until a faint voice could be heard chanting something, a spell program advance. "From the lights of the dark forest, I summon the power that is mine! I gather all of thy strength, from all of the different times! Now, show this foolish being, the power within my hands, and let the plants of a forgotten past, ERASE THIS THING IN FRONT OF ME!" Rose laughed as she then ran towards the shaking Conan, and then she jumped into the air. She turned one of her root like arms into a blade and then summoned the spell into it, brining down the blade upon Conan.exe, and deleting him.
-Conan.exe Logging out-
"And it looks like the ten year old netbattler is the winner!" yelled Aynos as Tommy calmy jacked out. "Good match." Said Jimmy, holding out a hand for her to shake "Thank you, you to." Said the girl, a smile... real or not, was on her face as they both walked off stage. "Okay now ladies and gents! Our next match is between two childhood rivals and two best friends, Dex and Lan!" said Aynos as the crowd erupted "I'm going to win." Said Dex, Courtney, hanging off of his shoulder "Yea, second place." Said Lan, grinning "Well, to the best fighter." They both said, as they held out their hands and shook on it.
