Hi everyone, sorry about the long wait.I just wanted to make sure that as many people as possible got to see the previous chapter before I updated and with school that took a while apparently. But no more waiting now!

"Well then, let's start things off, shall we? Neon Light!" Flashman said, attacking right off. Lan leaped out of the way, bringing out his Buster in mid-air. He rained shots down on Flashman who put up a light shield to block them. He shook his head. "Tsk, tsk, I'd have thought that you're skills would have improved by now."

"We'll see about that. Bamboo sword, battlechip in!" Lan charged Flashman with his sword held out in front of him. Flashman extended his gauntlets and blocked the initial slash. Lan strained against him then drew his sword away. "Chaud!" he called. "Get everyone out of here!"

Chaud nodded and made for the announcer, who was standing shocked off to the side. He grabbed his microphone and shouted into it. "Evacuate the building! Everyone find a safe spot!"

Lee came up to him and grabbed him. "What's going on?" he demanded.

"I'll explain later, just get out of here."

"No! I'm staying to help." Lee gave him a look that told Chaud that nothing would change his mind.

"OK, then start leading everyone outside. And watch out for those two!" Chaud warned.

Lee nodded and disappeared into the crowd, directing as he went.

Meanwhile, Lan had given up on his Bamboo sword for the moment and switched to Boomerang. He threw it toward Flashman several times without success. "He just dodges it every time," he muttered.

"Don't give up, Lan." Megaman said.

"Like I have a choice."

Lee and Chaud had finally succeeded in getting everyone out. "Now what?" Lee asked. "Isn't there anything we can do to help?"

"Not unless you get a Synchro-chip." Chaud said.

"A what?"

"Never mind."

"Well, anyway, I'm gonna think of something." With that, Lee dashed off.

"No! Wait!" Chaud called after him. "Great, another impulsive one, just like Lan."

Lan was starting to tire out from the extended battle. "Having trouble there? Let me put you out of your misery! Spark Arm!" Flashman directed three balls of electricity toward him.

Lan jumped out of the way, but only just in time. The attacks exploded just as he got clear. "That was close," he said.

"Too close," Megaman muttered. "Watch out!"

Flashman had launched another attack, but with less notice, Lan took some damage.

Flashman took advantage Lan being down. "Flashlight!" The two light bulbs appeared out of the ground. Just as they were about to activate, they shattered. "What the…?"

"What was that?" Lan said as he got up. "I didn't do that."

"I did." Both turned to look at where Lee was standing, tossing another rock up and down. "Interesting," he commented. "Real rocks still shatter cyber glass."

"You'll pay for that." Flashman grumbled, and headed for Lee.

Lee just smirked. "You think you can handle me."

"I know I can. Neon Light!" The familiar colored orbs shot toward Lee. He froze, unsure of what to do. At the last second he was knocked out of the way by a diving tackle from Chaud.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Chaud hissed.

"Just trust me." Lee gave him an assuring smile and scrambled up. "Is that your best shot?" he yelled at Flashman.

"Not even close. Neon Light!" Lee starting running, but the orbs were right on his tail and gaining.

"Oh, great." He murmured. Then he spotted a wooden crate over on the far wall. He altered his course to head straight for it. C'mon, c'mon, he thought. Just gotta make it to that crate. He dived into it at the last second. The crate rocked a little from being hit by the attacks, but none of the electric orbs made it in. Lee poked his head over the edge and grinned. "Wood doesn't conduct Electricity. Looks like you're done."

"So you think," Flashman said. He re-extended his gauntlets and headed straight for the crate.

Lee was in a dilemma. OK, the crate is the safest place to be to guard against his electric attacks, but it's not very defendable, so… Any further thought was cut short by the arrival of Flashman. He kicked the crate roughly, sending it and Lee flying. Lee, unlike the crate, which smashed against the wall, landed a short distance away, sprawled out on the floor. "That wasn't the best idea," he muttered, but then was aware of Flashman standing over him, holding a ball of electricity in his hand.

"Any last words?" he said grinning.

"Yea," another voice said. Flashman turned to be met by Lan's Bamboo Sword. "Never turn your back on a Net Saver."

"I'll be back!" Flashman shouted as he dematerialized.

"Flashman, logging out."

The dimensional area came down as Lan returned to his normal self and grabbed his PET.

"You OK?" he asked as he helped Lee up.

"Yea, nice timing." Lee said, dusting himself off.

"Nice distraction. It's what I needed."

"Dangerous," Chaud added. "But nice, as Lan said."

"Yea, good job." Megaman said.

Lee was reminded of something. "Oh no, Cypher!" He quickly checked his PET. "Cypher, are you OK?"

"Nice of you to finally notice," Cypher said weakly. "I took a lot of damage in that battle with Flashman and then to top it all off, after that weird event, I felt drained of everything. I don't think our normal recovery program's gonna cut it."

"Well then, we better find some way to fix you quick." Lee turned to Lan and Chaud. "Do you guys know anything we can do?"

Lan and Chaud glanced at each other. Lan spoke for both of them. "You came to the right people…"

I think you all know where they're going. So enough said. Review, stayed tuned, blah blah blah, don'tI say this every single time?
