------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dex and Lan, friends till the end and rivals all the way. These two battlers have known each other since the day they started pooping in diapers. They know that they can depend on each other no matter what, but forgetting that, they still have a great passion burning deep within their hearts, a rivalry that could push either one off the edge. Neither of them are planning on losing a match today but one of them has to…

"Okay people! Are you ready for one of the most heart-filled matches of this tournament?!" yelled Aynos, silently hoping that the two would delete each other or at least Megaman get deleted so that her job could be easier. (For all of you who haven't got it, Aynos is Sonya; I rearranged her name and Blaze's to create this alter ego. And go saddened, you can pick up your cookie at Kroger's!) The roar of the audience was deafening, as the two young netbattlers grinned and walked into the center of the arena, the place where the tournament arena was held. Dex was appearing calm, but the sweat on his forehead changed that appearance. Lan on the other hand, was sighing deeply, his mind in another world. "This is going to be one of the hardest matches ever,,," he said to Megaman "Yea, Dex and Gutsman have gotten a lot better, that day on the train, he was holding back…" said Mega, meditating and preparing himself for his match. "Yea, but no matter what, we have to win." Said Lan "Yea!" said Mega, as Maylu walked over to Lan and Roll to Megaman. "You two ready?" asked Maylu, leaning on Lan's shoulder looking down at the net navi as Roll smiled at him "I guess." Said Lan, holding on to the young girl's back with his right arm around her waist "Don't guess, win." She said plainly, as she leaned closer to his face and then kissed him on the lips softly (FRIENDS DO KISS!) and then pulled back, dazed from the short moment. "That's for luck." She said calmly afterwards "Wow… Umm…. I think I need some more luck!" said Lan, full of energy. "Go win this match you horney little boy." She giggled as she walked off "Wow…" said Lan, looking down at his pet to see Megaman with the same dazed look on his face that he had as roll walked off as well. "I say we lose this match and have them cheer us up." Said Mega causing Lan to laugh.

The audience had seen this entire spectacle of emotion and to put it bluntly… they were pissed. "What! THAT'S THE BOYFRIEND!? WHAT THE HECK!? COME ON NOW BABY! I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!" yelled the entire male population while the females yelled "Man! LAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? THAT'S YOUR GIRL!? COME ON! NOW! GET A REAL WOMAN!… LIKE ME!" Megaman and Roll laughed at this, well until they heard the same thing coming from the navis as well. Lan sighed and turned towards the audience.

Maylu turned around and walked back to him and they both nodded, cupping their hands together and then yelling at the same time "WE ARE NOT TOGETHER!?" along with Megaman and Roll "Yet…" said Yai, Dimitri, Chaud, Tory, Sean, Courtney, Dex, Aynos, and every last one of their friends softly so that they couldn't hear them. The audience calmed down with an "Oh…" and then Maylu sighed, shaking her head and then smiled at Lan as she walked back to her seat. "Lets win this." Said Lan and Megaman at the same time. Dex started to laugh as Lan walked to his side of the arena. "What?" Lan asked, wondering why his friend was laughing at him "Well I just wanted to know… why is it… that if you two aren't dating, then why'd you get a kiss and not me?" said Dex, pouting. Courtney laughed, knowing that he was joking but she stopped and then started to act…very badly like she was mad. "Yea, why is that!? I want a kiss!" yelled Dimitri "Me to!" said Sean "Me three!" said Tory, and every other friend. Everyone looked over to Chaud who grinned "Not on your lives…" he said calmly causing everyone to laugh.

"Well then… now; whenever the two of you are ready." Said Aynos, praying for Megaman's deletion. Dex and Lan, stopped laughing instally and then looked at each other calmly. "Are you ready to lose?" said Lan, a smirk on his face "I don't lose, but you can tell me how it feels after this match." Dex said calmly "Well then." Said Lan, walking to the center and then holding out his hands "May the best man win." Dex finished, grasping Lan's hand into a handshake, whishing each other luck. "Jack in Megaman! Power up!" yelled Lan, just seconds later "Gutsman! Let's kick ass!" said Dex as the battle of rivalry began.

"Okay Mega! Let's get this done quick!" yelled Lan as he placed in a battle chip and as Megaman hit the ground and then began to run at high speeds towards the calm Gutsman and then he picked up his speed as Lan yelled "Electric Sword!" and placed in another chip then as his arm transformed into the blade, he jumped into the air and then grinned as he then brought the blade down onto Gutsman and a black smoke then took over the entire arena, blocking sight from all over. "Did we get him?" Lan asked… there was no answer. The smoke then began to clear, and a smirk appeared on Dex's face as he said "Lan, when are you going to learn? You need a better opening move for me. I've been practicing with you for about at least twelve years. I know your favorite opener… You switch it around every once in a while but normally it stays the same… and that is the reason that I bought this…" Dex said, holding up his Anti-sword battle chip.

"Dang…!" yelled Lan, as the smoke cleared to revile Megaman on the floor and Gutsman, sitting down on the ground calmly. "I thought it would be harder than that." He said sadly, drawing shapes in the ground that he was in. "Mega, you okay?" asked Lan, a grin on his face "Of course…" said a voice, sounding like it came from the sky "I knew that you knew that I loved that move. That's why I used this." Smirked Lan as he held up an anti-damage battle chip "Damn!" Out of nowhere, 10 shooting stars fell from the sky, all hitting Gutsman with incredible strength. "Now, let me show you, how our blood will win this match! Warrior's Blood! (Think of it as a full synch battle chip only used for Lan and Megaman) Battle chip in download!" Gutsman could feel the power, even though Megaman was still in the air. "Umm… yea, Dex?" said Gutsman, a little worried "Don't worry, I got ya." Said Dex quietly as he twirled a battle chip in his hand.

"Heat Meteoria style!" yelled Lan as he pressed the battle chip inside of his pet and then a brilliant red flame was seen, diving through the sky at high speeds, headed right towards Gutsman. "ARMAGEDDON ASTEROIDE!" yelled Lan and Megaman at the same time due to their full synch as an asteroid formed in front of them and then sped down towards the smiling and big navi. Megaman then touched it, and a fire then began to glow around it, engulfing it, as it ran into Gutsman. "NOW! GUT RAGE PUNCH!" yelled Dex as he placed in the battle chip and Gutsman glowed with a silver color and then he pulled one of his arms back and punched it with all of his might, leaving it in pieces. Just in time to see Megaman pointing his blaster at his head as a ball of fire shot at him and then tossed him back. "Nice sneak attack." Said Gutsman, rubbing the dent in his armor "Thanks." Said Megaman, as he then switched back to normal. "Welcome, but now… I'm pissed! he said as he then ran towards Megaman, phasing in and out of sight, until he appeared behind Megaman and then raised his hands into the air.

"Zeus Hammer!" yelled Gutsman and Dex as a huge hammer appeared inside of his hands and then he brought it down on Megaman. The hammer hit, but Megaman didn't even move. Gutsman stood there for a moment, confused as much as his operator. And then Dex got it, too bad that he got it too late. "Get out of there now!" yelled Dex into his Pet "Huh why?" "It's a trap!" he said but the moment that he said it, the trap set into motion. A shattering of glass could now be heard as the Megaman that Gutsman had hit began to crumble. "A copy…" Gutsman said to himself as his body then began to freeze as Lan grinned and held up his Navi Trap Chip in his hand. Megaman then came out of nowhere and then ran towards the now frozen navi and smiled as Lan downloaded three battle chips; the long sword, sword, and wide sword battle chips; creating his favorite program advance, the Life Sword. Megaman's hands began to transform, just as Gutsman's ice began to melt. Megaman then sliced at Gutsman, who then caught it, rendering it useless. "WHAT THE!?" yelled Megaman and Lan at the same time as Dex just laughed "Well, I added this into him more for Chaud, but I added some more because I knew that you also like swords. Gutsman is now donning an armor I like to call The Renderer." Said Dex as Gutsman snatched the program advance from Megaman and then tossed it into the air and pointed his blaster at it, shooting it and destroying it. "It stops all sword attacks, it's one of the most powerful armors in the world; I also have another armor built into him as well but you'll have to use an attack to figure it out." Said Dex as Gutsman grabbed Megaman by his neck and then began to choke the navi.

"Man, you're good at building armors…" said Lan as his navi was crushed "Yea I know." Smiled Dex "Umm… Lan a little help?" asked Megaman "Oh yea! Sorry!" said Lan as he placed a battle chip into his pet and then Megaman and Gutsman began to glow the same color. "My dad made this chip, and I needed a chance to test it out so here we go!" yelled Lan as a data stream began to flow from Gutsman into Megaman "Soul Steal!" he said as Gutsman began to twitch and as the data stream finished and as Megaman dropped to his feet, crouching now. "Well let's try this out." Said Megaman as Lan pressed a button on his pet and as Megaman began to glow a bright yellow, red, and white and then the shadow embraced the navi. "No way…" said Dex, watching the event along with Gutsman. "It's called the soul steal, it takes and copies the soul of the navi that I'm fighting and then it allows me to use their powers along with mine." Said Megaman as the light faded to revile his new form. "Cool, looks good Mega." Said Lan, giving his navi thumbs up. Megaman was no longer his normal blue, instead he was now wearing three different colors. His torso center was now dark red while his outer torso was yellow, along with his legs. His mask was now in his hand, reviling his short spiky brown hair. "HE'S SO CUTEEE!" yelled Roll and all of the other girl navis.

He still had his mouthpiece on, and it had now changed to the red of his torso, but he removed this and then he tossed them both into the air, turning them into data as they disappeared. He stood there, a determined look in his eyes as he calmly walked over to Gutsman and stood in front of him. "I present to you, Mega Guts soul." Said Lan as a symbol then began to grow onto Mega's body. It was a blue circle with a green arrow in the middle, the combined symbols of Megaman and Gutsman. "Now, lets show them power." Said Lan as Megaman raised his hands and then as he brought the down upon Gutsman they transferred into hammers, smacking Gutsman down with his own powers. "Uggh!" said Gutsman as he pulled himself out of the hole that Megaman had made. "This is a lot of power." Said Megaman as he lift his arms into the air once again and then he brought them down to the ground, creating shockwaves that hit Gutsman right on the mark. "Okay, now Gutsman! Sand Set Battle chip in download!" said Dex as he placed in the chip and as the ground transformed into a pit of sand. Gutsman then shifted towards the row in between him and Megaman and then smashed it, knowing that Mega's shockwaves couldn't hit him. "Now you can't attack and Gutsman can have a quick time out." Said Dex as his navi began to recover himself "Idiot…" said Lan as he downloaded a chip into Megaman's hand and as he tossed a red rat into Gutsman's field "NO!" said Dex "Yes!" said Lan as he downloaded a fire blaster into Megaman and as Megaman shot the rat that he threw, lighting the fuse on its back as it ran towards Gutsman and then blew up as it hit him. Gutsman lied on the ground, out of breath.

"I didn't want to use this but it looks as if I might have to." Said Dex, as he pulled out a chip and downloaded it into his pet "Berserk Battle Chip In!" he yelled as Gutsman picked himself up and then his normally yellow eyes began to turn red along with his entire body, as he picked up speed and then ran towards Megaman, even though the sand field was supposed to slow the both of them down. "Shit! Repair Battle chip in download!" said Lan as Megaman's side of the field cleared of the sand but… he was too late. Gutsman was now upon Megaman and he began punching him with the strength of 100 navis. Megaman was being beat down and Gutsman was beating the heck out of him. Data could be seen chipping off of the blue err… .yellowish red navi as Gutsman continued to punch out of his mind. "MEGA!" yelled Lan, watching his navi being destroyed. Gutsman then smiled as he picked Megaman up by his hair, and then he began to slam him side to side and then he tossed him aside like a rag dog. "Man… that chip is dangerous." Said Dex as he watched his navi almost murder his best friend. "Megaman, take this! Full Recover!" yelled Lan as he placed in the chip, but there was no response from Megaman.

--??—

"Huh? Where am I?" said Megaman, as he searched around the black area that he was now in "Last thing I remember was getting the hell beat out of me by Gutsman." "You are in Hades." Said a voice out of nowhere and yet everywhere "Huh!? WHO ARE YOU!?" asked Megaman looking around the entire area "I am known to many as Grim." Said the figure as he wandered towards Megaman, in his red robe. "And did you just call this Hades?" said Megaman worried "Yes, you are here because you have used a dark chip in the past, it places an dark soul inside of you." Said Grim looking Megaman over "Shit…" said Megaman, sighing until a faint voice yelled "MEGA!" it was a female's voice… not any female either, it was the voice of Roll. A bright light then shone and Megaman was gone… Grim smiled "looks like, you're not meant for Hades just yet."

--Battle—

Gutsman could be seen walking around, back to normal. "Did I do it?" he asked Dex who nodded "MEGAMAN!?" yelled Lan, not giving up on his friend. A rumble was heard, and Lan looked to the place where Megaman's body was previously laying… it was gone and his pet was now shaking, so violently that three battle chips fell onto the pet. "Huh? Dark Power, Jaded Destiny, Rage battle chips? Where'd I get these from?" he asked himself until he heard Megaman say "Use them." In his mind, he didn't hesitate. "Dark Power, Jaded Destiny, Rage Battle chips in download!" he yelled. His screen paused and then began to glow with the words Onime no Kyo Program Advance. A serge of pure power ran through the arena and Gutsman looked around, only to see Megaman standing on the other side of him wearing traditional Japanese clothing and a black blade in his hand, leaning on his shoulder. "I think I need to end this." Megaman said Calmly as he then held up the blade in one hand and then ran two fingers across the blade part, transforming the black energy into a red color. "What are you going to do with that? Blades can't hurt me." Said Gutsman "We'll see." Said Megaman as he ran towards Gutsman and then sliced the navi. The blade going right through him. "I told you." Said Gutsman, unharmed "Shhhhh…. Can you hear it?" said Megaman calmly, putting the blade on his shoulder once again "Hear what?" "The sound of the wind." He said as Gutsman then let out a loud scream and then fell into pieces.

-GUTSMAN LOGGING OUT!-

"And it looks like Megaman is our winner!" yelled Aynos, pissed off because of that fact and amazed at the power displayed. "I need to be careful." She said as Megaman turned back to normal and as Lan jacked him out. "Wow, that was great!." Said Dex, as he quickly restored Gutsman's data "Thanks!" said Megaman and Lan grinning "But now that you beat me, you gotta win this thing." Said Dex hitting Lan on the back "Don't worry I will!" they said "Oh yea, here ya go!" said Dex, handing Lan two battle chips "Huh, what's this?" Lan asked "Well its my sword armor, and my element armor, it'll come in handy." Said Dex "Thanks!" "No prob! And Congrats!" said Dex holding out a hand "Thanks." Said Lan, shaking his hand. And strengthing his friendship and rivalry with his best friend.
