I didn't think I'd upload here again, but this WILL be my last story that I upload here if I get no reviews.
This is my third RM.EXE fic, and my first anime based fic. It's set during the run of Axess (Note that I'm getting my information on the episodes from Ryouko-sama's site, since I can't get them myself at the minute) so I hope you like!. I don't own Rockman, or any of the other official characters used in this fic, they belong to Keiji Inafune and Capcom (I refuse to say they belong to ShoPro, I'm sure you all know why)
(Chapter 1)
"In other news, people have begun to go missing. No names have yet been confirmed, but it seems that people are going missing from the Akihara area..." the reporter announced, Netto had randomly turned it on, having nothing else to do at the minute.
"I've been hearing about that on the internet Netto-kun" Rockman spoke up.
Netto looked at his PET "You told me about it already Rockman, but I wonder what's causing it?" he wondered.
"Hope the Net Agents get to the bottom of it soon..." Rockman replied.
(Elsewhere...)
"Saratu, are you sure about this?" the girl's navi asked from a yellow/orange advanced PET. She herself was a humanoid Navi, whom was very similar to Rockman. The only differences she had to him, was the long ginger hair flowing down her back, the bright blue eyes, the yellow/orange design of her form, and the icon, which was very similar to Netto's. The difference was, that the center was red, the border was yellow, and the line running through it was in the opposite direction.
"Positive Neta, I'm going to get back at him for killing my Mom" Saratu answered. She was a waist length blonde haired, green eyed girl, the same age as Netto. She wore a black pair of jeans, and a dark blue jumper. She carried around with her a PET holster, which had her icon on it, which held both her PET, and her chips.
"Regal-sama might have been wrong about him Saratu, maybe he didn't kill your mother" Neta suggested.
Saratu took her PET out of it's holster, and looked at her Navi "You probably don't understand why I want him dead, since you're a Navi. But I'm positive it was him" she told her Navi as she holstered her PET again.
"I understand why you want him dead perfectly Saratu, but I'm just suggesting that maybe it wasn't him, maybe it was someone else" Neta replied.
"Give your opinion to someone who cares Neta" Saratu told her. "How far are you from your destination?" she asked.
"Not far, I'll be there any time now. So we leave a dimensional core in the main system, go in, Cross Fuse, then get him?" Neta asked as she continued through the server.
Saratu nodded, but Neta stopped walking. "Saratu, there's security programs in here, I need to get past them" she whispered to her operator.
"Coming up" Saratu told her as she went into her holster for a chip, she took one out and opened her PET. "Battlechip Invisibility! Slot-In!" she called as she slotted in the chip. Neta turned invisible, and she continued on past the security programs. "How'd you know about that Neta?" she asked.
"This is the Science Labs Saratu, it is heavily guarded. Any Navi knows that" Neta answered.
"You mean there's more of them to get past?" Saratu asked.
"Don't worry, there's a flaw in the security patterns, I took the weakest route" Neta replied.
"Hardly any Navi knows this server that well Neta, what aren't you telling me?" Saratu questioned.
"Um, lucky guess?" Neta quickly answered, the chip wore off, but she had reached her destination.
"We'll talk about this later Neta, activate the Dimensional Core" Saratu told her as she holstered her PET again.
Neta sighed with relief when Saratu wasn't looking as she activated the Dimensional Core "I have to be more careful, she almost caught me that time..." Neta thought to herself.
(Hikari home...)
Netto's PET rang, he quickly picked it up and answered the waiting call. The face of Eguchi Meijin formed on the screen "Meijin-san! Is something wrong?" Netto asked.
"There is no need for formalities Netto. Anyway, yes, something is going on, a Dimensional Area just opened up over the Science Labs, and we can't take it down!" Meijin answered.
"I'll be right there" Netto replied as he ran to the door, put his skates on, and headed out.
(Science Labs...)
"Why can't these things just open when Dad's experimenting with them?" Netto thought as he approached the edge of the Dimensional Area. He backed up, put a few chips into his PET, and took out his Synchro Chip. He leapt forward "Synchro Chip! Slot-In!" he called as he slotted the chip into his PET.
"Cross Fusion!" both Netto and Rockman yelled as they fused, and headed into the Dimensional Area.
Once Inside, R-Rockman formed his buster, and readied it, as viruses, or a Navi could pop out at any second.
(Elsewhere...)
"Any sign of him Neta?" Saratu asked. She and Neta had performed Cross Fusion, and were looking for their target. (R-Neta looks a lot like her normal form, except her face had changed to Saratu's, and so had her hair color. There was no symbol added to her helmet, and orange lines join her icon from her shoulders, and her lower back. She has the same kind of backpack as R-Rockman) Saratu had fused with Neta, however, she wasn't able to use Neta's scanning abilities.
"No sign of him yet Saratu, but I'm sure he's here" Neta answered.They looked around again, and something caught Neta's eye. "Saratu, found him" she added.
R-Neta headed in the direction they had found their target. Once they had seen their target, Hikari Yuuichiro running down a corridor which they were at the other end of, she stopped and held out her hand "Net Blaster!" she called as she formed a weapon similar to the Rock Buster over her arm. She aimed and fired a shot. She missed, but he ducked and tripped over.
Neta noticed another signal, but she didn't want to tell Saratu about it, as she would probably just tell her to shut up. This was the moment she had been waiting for. She aimed the Net Blaster again, and this time, charged it. "Charge Shot!" R-Neta called as she fired the blast, he was as good as dead.
"Battlechip Barrier!" a voice called out, R-Neta couldn't see over the energy of her own blast, but the blast collided with something, and when the smoke cleared, someone had stopped her attack. "You won't hurt Papa!" the stranger shouted to her.
Saratu raised a brow, as she looked at the new figure "Papa? You're his son?" she asked.
R-Rockman nodded "What kind of problem do you have with him? He hasn't done anything to anyone" he questioned.
Saratu glared at him, and aimed the Net Blaster at him "He killed my mother, I'm here to settle the score" she answered.
"Netto-kun, be careful. She's not a normal Navi, she's a fusion like us" Rockman told his operator.
"Got you, Rockman" Netto whispered back.
Saratu thought about what he just said. Rockman. She'd heard of him, he was the Navi that had taken down World 3, Gospel and Nebula, well, a fraction of Nebula. Maybe she was biting off more than she could chew here by taking him on.
"Ultimate program detected. Saratu, I don't think we can take him" Neta told her operator.
"Ultimate Program? You've said that before, you said you had it sometime ago" Saratu asked.
"I know I did, but it's down to operating skill, and Rockman's operator has had more practice at Cross Fusion than you have. If you want to get his Dad, we'll have to get him some other time" Neta replied. "Besides, you're reaching your fusion limit very quickly" she added.
"I hate it when you're right" Saratu whispered back as she dropped her Net Blaster, and headed out of the Science Labs.
R-Rockman was about to go after her, but half of him didn't want to go "Netto-kun, we don't need to go after her. Papa's health is more important!" Rockman told him, Netto nodded. The Dimensional Area dropped, and he became his normal self again.
(Later...)
"I'm fine Netto, the shot didn't hit me" Yuuichiro told him.
"That's good to know, but do you know what she was talking about? Who she was?" Netto asked.
"Netto, to explain, I'll have to reveal a secret that I've kept for years, about Rockman" Yuuichiro answered.
Rockman's eyes widened, as he knew what he was talking about "Papa..." he said.
"So Rockman knows who that was too?" Netto questioned, a little annoyed.
"Rockman only has a faint idea, and I don't know the human half personally, but I do however, know the Navi. Because I was the one who created her" Yuuichiro began "Years ago, you were born with a twin, Hikari Saito. But he had a rare heart disease, HBD, which soon ended his life. I wanted to save him, so I created equipment to transfer human brain waves to the internet, and be able to sustain themselves without a connection to the body. But I had to test it to make sure it would work before using it on Saito. A dear friend of mine, Keshiro Denierure, volenteered to do it. So, after transferring them both to the internet, I created two NetNavis, Rockman and Neta. I asked both of them to keep it a secret, and they have as far as I know until now. But to keep this promise, Neta has her daughter confused. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I think someone has put it into her head that her mother was killed, and I was the one that did it" Yuuichiro explained.
"So that was them?" Netto asked, both Yuuichiro and Rockman nodded.
(Elsewhere...)
"I was so close..." Saratu said to herself as she walked through the streets.
"Don't worry, we'll..." Neta told her.
"Neta, if you're trying to make me feel better, don't. I've got enough to think about as it is" Saratu replied coldly.
Neta sighed, Saratu was in a bad mood, and she wasn't very talkative when she was. An email arrived in the PET. "Um, Saratu, an email just came" she told her.
Saratu unholstered the PET, and opened the email. 'Saratu, you have to calm down. I know it's getting to you, how close you are to him, but we have a job to do, remember?' she read.
Osaka Ademu, Neta remembered him as one of the few friends that Saratu had made over the years. Neither of them were actually part of Nebula, but they did jobs for Regal whenever he wanted them to.
Saratu wrote out a reply 'I remember why we're here, meet me at Maha Niban, I know a way to hit two birds with one stone' she sent the email.
(Later...)
"You want to what?" a boy asked, he had short black hair, dark green eyes, and was wearing a black jacket, with a white shirt under it, and black pants.
"Regal-hasake wants us to do some more work for him, right Ademu? and I want to somehow get at Hikari, so why not kidnap some people close to his family?" Saratu replied.
"Well, he doesn't know about Regal's technology yet, so he won't have any defense, I don't know Saratu, using it seems risky to me" Ademu told her.
"C'mon, I've been studying what his son's Navi has been doing, who he hangs out with and stuff. Regal warned us about Rockman, and I think we should delete him, without him, his operator won't be able to Cross Fuse, and defend his father" Saratu said.
"Okay, you've talked me into it. But don't we need some more Navi data?" Ademu questioned.
"I've been designing some new Navis since I thought that Regal-sama would want us to do some more work for him, and I have the data for all of them loaded onto my PET, all they need is a self, then they'll work perfectly" Saratu answered.
(Elsewhere, later on...)
Saratu watched as Neta activated another Dimensional Core. This was something that they had done before, but it was still new to them. Once the core was running, both Saratu and Ademu took out a chip, and slotted it into their PETs before taking out their Synchro Chips.
"Synchro Chip! Slot-In!" they both called. Saratu became R-Neta, and Ademu became a red armored Navi, with much resemblence to a knight, besides the dragon head fitted onto his right hand.
"Data Sync Chip! Activate!" they shouted as they activated the chip they had inserted before Cross Fusing. No noticeable change had been made, but R-Neta leapt into the computer screen, and disappeared, R-Dragoman soon did the same.
(In the net...)
"Neta, do you know your way to Internet City from here?" Saratu questioned.
"Perfectly Saratu, who do you have in mind?" Neta replied.
"Depends who we see in Internet City" Saratu answered.
(Internet City)
"Is he okay Netto? Navi attacks can be nasty" Meiru asked.
"He said the shot didn't hit him, but she wasn't a Navi, not fully" Netto replied."Rockman told me he sensed she was part human. Papa said he knew the Navi, because he created her" Netto added.
"He created a Navi like that? Personally I'd stop making Navis when one turns out like that" Yaito spoke up.
"It wasn't Neta that was the problem, it was the operator. He said he thinks that Neta's operator wants him dead because she thinks he killed her mother" Netto answered.
"Roll-chan, we have to go" Meiru told her Navi, Roll nodded.
"Okay, don't we need to pick up that new program for the PET today?" Roll asked.
Meiru nodded "Go find the Navi and get it from him" she replied, Roll nodded as she waved goodbye to everyone, then left.
(Elsewhere...)
"Saratu, isn't that one of them?" Neta asked, noticing Roll was walking through Internet City on her own.
"Perfect, we'll keep an eye on her" Saratu replied.
A few minutes had passed, and Roll had got the program she was staying in Internet City to get. She was about to plug out, when R-Dragoman and R-Neta jumped out and grabbed her.
"Roll-chan!" Meiru called out, noticing the two Navis that were holding Roll.
R-Dragoman put a hand on Roll's icon and scanned it. Some data came off of it, into Dragoman's system. He grabbed onto R-Neta and warped into Meiru's computer.
(Meiru's computer...)
"What do you want with Roll?" Meiru questioned, seeing that the two Navis had come to her computer, thinking they must've stolen the code from Roll.
"It's not her we want. R-Neta, the core if you would" R-Dragoman answered.
R-Neta nodded as she let go of Roll, R-Dragoman kept her restrained. She formed the core, and Meiru's whole room was surrounded with a small Dimensional Area. R-Dragoman hit Roll on the back of the head, knocking her out and causing her to log out. Both of them then entered the core, and formed in Meiru's room, R-Dragoman dashed to restrain Meiru and make sure she couldn't call for help.
R-Neta scanned through the programs of her PET, and found the one she wanted. A navi icon formed in her hand, and she placed it on Meiru's chest, a white glow began to come out of it and cover her body. Once it had covered her completely, R-Dragoman let go of her, as she wouldn't be able to move anyway.
"Leave her alone! What'd she do to you?" Roll called from the PET, R-Neta nodded to R-Dragoman and a gap appeared on her side, she reached into a PET holster, and took out a chip. Roll gasped as R-Neta walked over to her PET with it, and opened up the top, and slotted it in. A virus formed in the PET, which Roll began to fight with.
"R-Dragoman, grab her and lets get going" R-Neta said, he nodded as he did so and the two disappeared back into the screen, taking Meiru with them. The dimensional area disappeared along with them, and it seemed that nothing had happened, besides the sound of Roll fighting the virus in the PET.
(End Of Chapter)
