I'm going to make a quick point here, each chapter is written about 3 times before its typed up. I do this to make sure that the story is moving with the plot that ive layed out. And i'm sorry if its moving a little quickly for some people, its just how i write.

Last point, i would like some feedback and reviews please. Whether it's nice or down right mean. I will try and use critisism to improve my story.

Thankyou

There was a deep rumbling and a black shadow covered both Angel X and Megaman. A deafening screech echoed through the shadow and Emma smiled. 'Let's see if the insertion program works…'

The signal had stopped at Higsby's Battle Chip shop. Chaud hadn't bothered to call up a car, it wasn't that far and the roads were busy. It was faster to just run. The Phoenix virus would be there otherwise Angel X wouldn't have stopped. Just who was this mysterious girl and her navi? The computer had difficulties rebuilding Angel X. It was like she was designed to be beyond normal capabilities.

'Chaud…' Protoman said. 'There's something about Emma that's different.'

'Like what?' Chaud panted. Okay so maybe it wasn't that close.

'Didn't you notice that while Angel X was down, she wasn't exactly fine?' Protoman asked. 'And then when you repaired Angel X she suddenly got an energy boost? It's like she's always in a state of synchronization with Angel X.'

'But that's not possible.' Chaud said.

Angel X stared up at the beast that cast such a huge shadow and Megaman followed her gaze up at the creature.

'Phoenix…' Emma smirked. 'Lan! Don't forget to keep Chaud busy, otherwise this thing's going to destroy everyone.' The mischievous smile on Emma's face told Lan to listen.

'Emma.' Angel X said coolly. 'Maybe it's time to start.' Emma nodded and fed 5 battle chips into her PET. 'Program Advance! Omega Arrow spread!' A rain of arrows flew at the beast. For a moment, Maylu thought that she could see Emma standing right beside Angel X, not as a part of her. Lan gritted his teeth, wasn't he good enough for this?

'You should go Emma!' Angel X cried.

'W…what?' Lan stammered.

'Fine.' Emma said. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She knew everything about the phoenix. The phoenix rose in a glory of fire and sent blazes of burning missiles down on Angel X.

'Lan! Look!' Maylu cried.

'Is that…?' Yai gasped. What looked like a shadow or echo of Emma had shimmered into focus in front of the phoenix, except she now wore a simple white open necked shirt and matching shorts. They looked across at Emma, who had fallen into a trance like state. Her breathing was steady and rhythmical and every so often her eyelids would flutter. The echo walked up to the phoenix, which was still defending itself from Angel X who was working without an operator.

'Hurry up!' Angel X screamed as she fired the Z-cannon. Megaman could only watch. The netop had entered the net without using a remote device. He was stunned, as was everyone else, it was unreal. The echo raised its arm and placed a hand on the feathery breast of the phoenix. There was a scream from the phoenix and a brilliant flash of red light.

'What happened?' Dex asked.

'Any ideas Glyde?' Yai asked her PET.

'From the looks of it, that flash was just like the light that's emitted when full-synchro is achieved.' Glyde answered. 'But full-synchro shouldn't be possible in this situation. That thing's not even a net-navi!' At that moment Chaud burst through the doors with his PET in hand.

'Chaud!' Lan cried. Chaud ignored him at stared at the stadium. Angel X was struggling against a huge phoenix and Megaman was just watching her and being ignored by the flaming beast.

'Sister?' A voice said.

'Mmm…what?' Emma muttered. She opened her eyes and found herself staring up at the sky. But it looked different, wrong somehow.

'Welcome Sister.' The voice said. Emma frowned, she knew the voice but couldn't place who it belonged to. 'I am glad that you have come to me. You have been missed by your brothers.' She sat up and rubbed her head.

'Where am I?' Emma asked.

'Look.' The voice said. A screen appeared in front of her and she could see Angel X firing directly at her.

'I see. You are the phoenix.' Emma murmured. 'Then the insertion program worked.'

'Barely. Your physical body is still in the "real" world.' The phoenix said calmly.

'So this is your mind?' Emma asked.

'Yes, but you know that I am not complete yet. If I return to where I was before will you complete me? I yearn to become whole and to have a purpose. What is my purpose?' The phoenix asked.

'You were originally designed to be a weapon against Ayano Tech and Blaze Quest.' Emma smirked. 'But I can see that you could achieve so much more. I'll finish your basic programming. But I won't give you the instincts that were intended.'

'Why?'

'I want you to become an individual.'

'I can see why you broke away from your brothers.'

'Who are you talking about?' The phoenix paused for a moment. Angel X's barrage of attacks were slowing down.

'Your brothers, they wanted power and unity. I can see that you believe in the individual.' The phoenix said. 'They will try and take you home. To where this all started. You must leave me if I am to return to my "cage".' Emma nodded and was overtaken by light.

'She's waking up.' Dex said. Emma opened her eyes slowly.

'Huh…what…' Emma mumbled. She tried to focus as she sat up.

'It's okay.' Maylu reassured. 'You passed out.' Emma went to stand up but couldn't find the strength to lift herself.

'I need to speak to Angel X.' Emma groaned.

'She's still fighting the phoenix.' Lan said. 'I'm sorry, but Chaud and Protoman are helping her.'

'No!' Emma cried. She forced herself up and ripped Chaud's jack in cable from the console. 'Stop it! Don't hurt it! It's promised to go back to its cage!' It took her a few moments after pulling the cable to realise that Chaud was standing right next to her.

'Emma?' Angel X asked before smiling. She fell to her knees and was caught by Protoman and Megaman before hitting the floor.

'Chaud…w…why did you come here?' Emma questioned although she knew that he wanted to battle the phoenix. She wanted to hear something else. He looked at her, into her eyes, and saw confusion. It was like there was something, some worry that was tearing her in two.

'I came for the virus.' Chaud said a little colder than he intended. He saw her look away, and realised that he had hurt her. He hadn't meant to. For some reason, he cared that he had hurt her.

'Angel X. I'm going to send the new cage to you.' Emma said her voice thick. She grabbed her PET off the top of the console and pulled a battle chip out of her trouser pocket.

'What are you going to do?' Maylu asked.

'I sending the phoenix back home. I made a promise to it.' Emma said quickly. She slotted the single chip into the PET. 'Heavens Wall, download.' A thin jet of golden light appeared in front of Angel X and danced around her for a moment, leaving a slight trail which shimmered until it faded. The thread of light danced over to the phoenix and the trail hardened into a solid gold cage. The light kept weaving its cage until the phoenix was sealed within the cage. 'Take it home Angel X. I'll meet you there.'

'Alright.' Angel X said. She walked up to the cage and placed her hand on the marvellous cage. She quickly looked at Protoman. 'Bye Protoman. I'll see you soon!' She disappeared into the internet and there was suddenly a thump.

'Emma!' Lan, Maylu, Yai and Dex cried simultaneously. Chaud span around from looking at the forming of the cage and saw Emma crouched over on the floor, holding her chest in pain.

'What…Emma…' He started. She coughed violently and blood splattered over her lips. 'So this is the price for fusing your consciousness with something that's not a net-navi.' He joined the others on the floor with the others. For some reason, he was concerned.

'It's not a forced fusion.' Emma coughed to everyone's amazement. 'The navi activates an insertion program which transfers the operator's consciousness from the navi into a target.' She coughed again, trying to keep herself awake. 'It's a brand new program that…that…' She passed out before she could finish explaining. Maylu and Yai caught Emma as she fell forwards. Chaud couldn't move. He was rooted to the stop.

'We need to get her to a hospital.' Dex said as Higsby ran over.

'Hey what happened here?' Higsby asked. The he saw Emma leaning unconscious against Maylu and Yai. 'What happened to her?'

'No time Higsby.' Lan said firmly. 'We need to take her to the hospital.'

'I'll call up a car.' Yai said as she pulled out her mobile phone again, dialling hurriedly.
