It's that time again!

Readers: What time?

Time for good news and bad news!

Half of readers: Yea! Other half of readers: Boo!

The good news is…everyone seems to love my fic! (Keyword: seems) (Yea!) The bad news is…I have absolutely no idea what to do for a sequel. (Boo!) I'll try to think about it more during these review responses:

Vulpix1000: No offense, but how can you like that one. However, I respect your opinion...

Jabber-Nut Foxypants: This chapter is dedicated to you 'cause you finally get your long awaited description of Cypher. By the way, ProtoSoul made its debut on this week's new episode, though it was kinda bitter-sweet. (Why? You'll have to watch it to find out...)

Vyser Adept of Dragons: You are now free to use Lee and Cypher as you see fit. And i will not sue you for Copyright Infringement. (Isn't that good to know:D)

Nothing on a sequel yet, but now the moment you've all been waiting for… Ch. 4 and…a Netbattle! (Guess between who)

After school let out, Lan headed outside to find Lee surrounded by kids eager to see his special arm gadget. Lee was enjoying the attention. "It's been specialized and customized just for me. And Cypher here was customized by yours truly," he was saying. "Well for the most part," he added. "My dad did help out a little."

Ooohs and Aaahs swept through the crowd as the gadget was shown off. It had all the basic features of a PET except that they were placed differently. The controls were situated directly beneath the screen just like a PET but they were less spread out. The Battlechip slot was on the side of the screen instead of above it. The lightning bolt symbol appeared again on the back of the hand, right next to the laser for jackingin, which was on the end of Lee's fist.

The crowd parted as Lan made his way through. A buzz rose from them as they speculated what he was going to do. Upon reaching Lee, he said, "Can we talk somewhere?" He eyed the crowd. "Privately." A disappointed moan came from the crowd as Lan and Lee walked off. As soon as Lan judged that they were far enough away, he started by saying, "So…you're the ones that have been appearing all over the city."

Lee nodded. "We just ran into a few trouble spots while we were exploring."

"A lot of problems, we noticed." Cypher commented.

"Yea, you guys having some trouble lately? Need a hand?"

"No thank you." Lan growled.

Lee backed off slightly. "Hey, I was just trying to be helpful. And anyway, it's not like I need your permission to help out."

Lan hurriedly switched the subject. "You said that you were the #1 Netbattler in your old town?"

Lee gave him a look. "I know where you're going with this."

"Then prepare to lose."

"Take your own advice."

"I don't need to."

"Don't be so sure."

"I am sure."

"Are you gonna jack in or what?"

"Alright then, let's show him how it's done. Jack in, Megaman, power up!"

"I don't need anyone to show me anything about Netbattling. Jack in, Cypher, power up!"

In the Cyberworld, Megaman got his first good look at the navi Cypher. His body suit was the same color as his own. Black armor appeared on the top half of his chest and shoulders as well as on his elbows, stomach, thighs, and knees. The stomach plate featured a gold zigzag stripe down the middle of it. More gold stripes ran down his arms, legs, and the center of his helmet. The helmet, as well as his boots and gloves, was black with the previously mentioned stripe and two dark blue stripes flanking it. Black wires ran from his back down his arms and legs connecting at each piece of armor on them. The symbol of the lightning bolt was displayed on his chest. Dark brown hair covered the right side of his face while a blue screen covered his left eye.

Lan skipped any sense of formality. "Go get him, Megaman!" Megaman nodded. "Megabuster!"

"Don't let him get the jump on you, Cypher!"

"I'm on it. Shock Blaster!" Cypher's right glove transformed into something similar to the Megabuster, but black with a gold stripe and the sides were slightly angled. Laser fire was intercepted by electric blasts as the two navis matched each other shot for shot.

"Not bad," said Megaman. "You're pretty good."

"And you live up to your reputation," Cypher replied coolly.

"Enough chit-chat. Here's a battlechip. Bamboo Sword, battlechip in, download!"

Lee thought a second. "Hmm… Bamboo… Alright! Fire Sword, battlechip in, download!"

Cypher received the Fire Sword just in time to block Megaman's attack. The two slashed at each other several times, each time the other blocked. "It's a stalemate," Megaman grunted as he strained against Cypher's sword.

"It won't be in a second." Cypher murmured. He gave his sword an extra push, sending it slicing through Megaman's sword,catching him on the side. "Fire cuts through Wood," Cypher smirked.

"Megaman, you OK?" Lan called.Megaman straightened up and nodded. "Then let's try a different approach. Boomerang, battlechip in, download!"

Megaman hurled his Boomerang at Cypher, who dodged easily, still smirking. "You missed."

Megaman raised an eyebrow. "Did I?"

Cypher grinned. "Thanks for reminding me." He whirled around and sliced through the returning Boomerang with his sword.

"Nice try," Lee said to the fuming Lan. "But I've seen that way too many times to get hit by it."

"Oh yeah, well let's see if you can dodge this! Bamboo Lance, battlechip in, download!"

"Look out, Cypher!" Cypher started running as lances began shooting up out of the ground around him. "I could really use a battlechip right about now!" he said.

"I'm working on it. Ha, got it! Air Shoes, Heat Shot, battlechips in, download!" Cypher shot into the air just as a lance sprang up right behind him. He spun around in mid-air and fired his Heat Shot at the lances, incinerating them all so he could land.

Megaman was stunned. "It didn't even scratch him…" He sounded almost worried. "Lan, we might have a challenge here."

Lan refused to believe that a newbie could beat him. "Nonsense, we just need more powerful chips."

Lee was suddenly reminded of something. "Power… Oh shoot, I gotta go now! Cypher log out!"

Cypher disappeared as a voice said, "Cypher, logging out."

Lan stared at him in disbelief. "What's the big idea? We're in the middle of a Netbattle!"

Lee began to pull out a collapsible scooter from a pack on his back. "I just remembered that I have to be somewhere very important."

"What could be more important than a Netbattle?"

"More Netbattles."

"Huh?"

"I'll explain on the way."

"Way to where?"

"Are you gonna come or what?"

"Yea, sure."

Megaman interrupted. "Lan, what about your homework?"

"I'll do it later."

"That's what you always say."

"And I do."

"Not always."

"Are you guys coming or what?" Lee called from down the street.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

OK, a couple things to talk about before I sign off this time. One, if any of you guys have ideas for another story with Lee and Cypher, let me know. So far, I don't have any, as I said before, so any suggests would be great. Two, starting this week my summer gets very busy. I will try to get an update up, but don't expect one for at least two weeks. And finally, I need some tips for BN3. You know those security cubes in the Undernet with writing on them about such and such a navi? (Ex.: A shape-shifting navi of sand holds the key.) How do I get past them? I know they have something to do with navis you've beaten before, but I can't figure out how. For instance, the example I gave you before, I know that it's Desertman, and I have his chip, but when I go up to the cube nothing happens. And don't tell me to try taking it out of my folder because I already tried it. Please help.
