Hi! Okay, in the last chapter a few people are mine:
Cloaked Navi and Man (Names will be mention)
Unknown Man and Navi (Names will be mention also)
Oscar and Grandmother Rana
And all of the stooges are mine (you'll see what I mean)
The Grand Ball
Chapter 5: Testing and Invites
Unknown Place: 8:00 PM
"WHAT? YOU FAILED!" The unknown voice screaming from the lungs.
"Master. I can do it again..."
"You have done enough Koto. Even your sniveling navi Forter failed. We have been chasing this girl for 13 years!"
"But..."
"LEAVE AT ONCE!" The unknown master pushed a button from his chair. Then a hole from where Koto was standing appeared leaving Koto to fall in the depths underground.
The unknown man sighed.
"This is NOT working too well." The unknown man stated. He showed his appearance. He is a big man wearing a business suit. His navi responded.
"Master Shukun, why can't we do it?" The navi questioned.
"We want to WEAK the little girl. And I know the perfect way..." Master Shukun walked up to a large computer system and called out for one of his other stooges(see?).
"...Yes Master..." The large door opened and another man with a cloak stood by waiting for instruction.
"Hayai..."
"Sir..."
"May I see your navi?" Master Shukun asked deeply. Hayai held his navy P.E.T in his hand and revealed it to Shukun.
"...Perfect..."
Blaze Mansion 8:30 PM
/Why did he give this to me/ Chaud thought while lying down on his bed and hearing the tune from the locket.
/It's not my birthday or anything.../
"Master Chaud?" Protoman interrupted. Chaud grabbed the P.E.T.
"You seem quiet." He said.
"I was just thinking a lot..." Chaud responded.
"Well don't think too much. I'm worried about you."
"You don't need to worry. I'm just tired after that. He doesn't talk about mother that often." Protoman had a solemn look on his face but left the young Blaze to be. He fell right to sleep and Protoman turned off all the lights.
Sidewalk 8:30 AM
It was the next day and Calista woke up late. She rushed herself out of bed and went outside of the sidewalk. She was wearing capri pants and a blue ruffled shirt wearing the chip neckalce. She was going to the Scilab until a voice shouted.
"Cally! What about me?" Calista turned around and saw Oscar following her.
"Oscar stay inside! Grandma will be watching you!"
"Grandma left remember? She had to go to China for a couple of days so you can't leave me alone!"
Calista groaned again and waited for Oscar to catch up. Their grandmother was so mysterious sometimes...
They walked to the Scilab in the clear blue sky filled with golden butterflies high in the air. They passed a park where there was a cherry blossom tree growing vividly in the grass. A lot of little children love the slide as they got back up and repeating the process.
Calista looked down at the little boy and see that Oscar was smiling at her.
"Oscar, are you okay?" She asked politely.
"I forgot! Grandma said that I can have a P.E.T! Isn't that great?" Oscar said happily. Calista smiled back.
"That's great! Okay since Grandma will be out why not get you a navi right after my training okay?"
"Yay!" Oscar walked with ease to the Scilab.
Scilab 9:00
"Sorry!" Calista ran to the main doors as Oscar waited by the doors.
"Uh...why are you here early?" Dr.Hikari watched as Calista entered the dimensional training room. The room was filled with many machines and systems she had ever seen.
"Isn't everyone here yet?" Calista asked.
"No..." Dr.Hikari answered.
"But...ARMELLA!" Calista grabbed her P.E.T from her pocket.
"Sorry. I must've read it wrong!" Armella grinned. Dr.Hikari had sent an e-mail saying that they were supposed to be at the Scilab at 10:00. But since Armel read it wrong, well you know what happens. Calista sighed and Oscar entered the room.
"Who is this gentleman? Dr.Hikari asked.
"This is my brother Oscar. I got stuck with him since my Grandma is visiting China for a couple of days." Calista responded. Oscar was amazed with the machines around him.
"Wow...this is fantastic! I always dream to own something like this!" Oscar examined each machine he can until the main doors opened again. It was Maylu and Lan who had just arrived. They waved a hi to everyone.
"Oscar..." Oscar looked at Dr.Hikari. "You wanted a P.E.T right?" He asked. Wow, for a scientist he must heard the whole conversation.
"Yes. I really do..." Oscar said shyly.
"I created Megaman so do you want one from me than in the stores? I won't charge you for it. But you have to work at the Scilab for a little while to earn it." Dr.Hikari smiled.
"Wow. That would be cool. Thanks! Where do I start?" Oscar responded.
"Come with me. Calista you can go outside if you wish. Oscar has to earn the P.E.T okay?"
"Okay that would be fine." Calista watched as the two gentlemen went to another room. She turned to Lan and Maylu.
"So what are you doing here?" Calista asked them.
"We wanted to watch you but-" Lan and Maylu's P.E.T interrupted them.
"Lan, it's an email from Yai." Megaman clicked on the email.
"Yai? What does she want? We haven't heard from her in a long time." Maylu questioned.
"It's something about a ball she is starting soon." Roll responded. "Here I'll read it:
'Dear Friends,
You are invited to the annual Grand Ball of Jawaii! Everyone will be invited there and my father wanted more people to attend. Since I started this ball I wanted to bring people from Dentech City and that's you! So please come if you can. It is a week away and I want you to have more time to get ready. And this...this will be a masquerade ball so you have to wear a mask and wear the best clothes you can. And please bring more people too. It will be grateful!
Your friend,
Yai Ayano
(P.S. There will be a navi ball too! But it is not a mask navi ball)'
Roll had ended the letter.
"So who's this Yai?" Calista questioned.
"She's an old friend who moved a long time ago." Maylu said. "She lives in Jawaii and we miss her a lot." Lan nodded and he forgot something already.
"Oh I'm sorry. Before the beep interrupted us we wanted to watch you train." Lan reminded her.
"Oh...okay." Calista blushed.
"You'll be fine. It's just like that guy you battled earlier!" Maylu smiled.
Calista gasped and Lan looked at her in a suspicious way.
"I'm sorry! I was shopping yesterday and I heard cries from the toy shop. I rushed and saw you battling the cloaked man." Maylu stated.
Armella hid a blush. She was thinking of something else and Roll looked at her curiously. Armella blinked and watched the conversation.
"You mean to tell me that you already know how to crossfuse!" Lan asked. Calista nodded.
"I hope that I didn't do anything wrong." Calista had her head down. "It faded after the battle ended. Not when the dimensional area faded though."
"No..."
Calista stared at Lan. "It's just that...the dimensional area should've had a signal. That signal will tell us if there is an area or not." Lan had his head down.
"But you won didn't you?" Lan questioned.
Calista nodded and smiled.
"That's good. And anyway, do you want to come?"
Calista asked, "To where?"
"The ball of course! She said everyone is invited however we wish here. So do you want?" Maylu asked her.
"Okay. When my Grandma comes back I can ask her." Calista smiled.
"All right. But it better be soon. We are going shopping right Lan?" Maylu grabbed Lan's arm.
"Uh...okay. But I HATE wearing tuxedos." Lan sighed.
"Don't worry Lan. And besides you saw me wearing one before right?" Megaman asked.
"Yeah..." He replied softly.
"Oh Roll! We gotta get you something to wear!" Maylu shouted.
"Maylu..." Roll blushed.
"It's okay and besides we have to look good you know!" Maylu whispered in the P.E.T.
"Of course." Roll smiled.
"Hey! What about me?" Everyone looked at Armella in the P.E.T.
"How do I-"
"Oh, sorry Armella! So where do we get those fashion chips?" Calista asked Maylu.
"Don't worry! The mall has everything okay?" Maylu winked at her.
"Yay!" Armella shouted. The two gentlemen came back to the room and Oscar went by Calista.
"Since it's onlythirty minutes left do you want food? I can hear someone's stomach growling." Dr.Hikari smiled. Calista's stomach began to rumble like crazy. She blushed and nodded and Dr.Hikari led the children to a small lunchroom.
Blaze Mansion 9:30
"Chaud, we should be going..." Protoman stared at Chaud while he put on his locket. It played the Moonlight Sonata and Chaud closed it.
"Yeah..." Chaud grabbed his P.E.T from the charger and went to the front doors. His limo was already there and he was off to the Scilab.
Ayano Mansion
"Glide, did every invitation was sent successfully?" Yai asked while she was sitting down in a giant fountain.
"Yes Miss Yai. Every one." Glide responded.
"Thank you. I hope this will be successful. It is only a week away and I get to see my friends..." Yai smiled.
"Yes...I want to see my fellow navis. But we just have to wait." Glide responded. Yai nodded and went back inside the mansion.
Beach Resortin Hawaii
"Hmm...what a vacation." Anetta held her sunglasses high in the air.
"It's pretty lonely without Silk...but." Anetta paused.
She thought about what happened at the hospital...how Silk was deleted. She had saved a lot from the hospital and she will always be remembered. Suddenly her P.E.T beeped. She grabbed the white P.E.T from the small table and read the invite from Yai.
"Oh wow! I get to see old friends again. I better leave soon...right after this." Anetta laid down in the sand and watched the sun shone brightly in the blue sky.
Scilab 9:50
"Wow. that was delicious. Thank you." Calista had just finished the last of the rice that Dr.Hikari gave her.
"You're welcome. You tell my wife thank you though. She made it." Dr.Hikari and Lan smiled. They adore the cooking whatever she makes.
"Okay. Are you ready Armel?" Calista held her P.E.T high in the air.
"Yup!"
Dimensional Area Training Room 10:00
They were all in the dimensional room. Chaud had just arrived and he was ready to crossfuse with Lan. Calista waited for them to crossfuse just to see how it was really done and she will do the same.
"Okay." Dr.Hikari sat down to operate the machines if something bad happens.
"Oscar press this button." Oscar was sitting next to him and he did what he was told. He pressed a green button and a large dimensional area began to form around the three net savers.
"CROSSFUSION!" Both P.E.T's began to glow and computer confetti fell upon them. They were now in crossfusion mode.
"Okay. See what you can do Calista." Lan encouraged her. Calista held the synchrochip in her hand but began to tremble.
"It's okay. You did this once right?" Calista looked at Chaud.
"Lan told me. We just want to see how you do." Chaud comforted Calista. She had big thoughts about the advice that Armella told her. She never wanted to make the same mistake again-having to decrossfuse earlier than before.
/Always stand tall and speak strong...Always stand tall and speak strong...Always.../
"CROSSFUSION!" She shouted. Her P.E.T began to glow and computer confetti exploded. In a few moments she was in crossfusion mode.
"Great job!" Maylu yelled from the glass window from the other side. Calista stared at her hands and smiled.
"Okay. Good job. Now we will perform a Program Advance technique. It is exactly like yours but you can perform it with different chips." Chaud and Lan nodded to make their move.
"Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword. Battlechips in!" The swords formed a purple blade.
"PROGRAM ADVANCE!" Calista moved out of the way and fast-
"LIFE SWORD!" The two boys slashed it in a practice Rockcube and it exploded into pieces. Calista ducked her head and the horror was over.
"YOU COULD'VE SAID SOMETHIIN' EARLIER!" She shouted.
"Sorry!" They sweatdropped. Then Calista thought of an idea. It's an idea called payback...
"That's it! Are you ready Armel?" Calista winked.
"You bet! Sun, Moon, Star, Swords battlechips in!" The Sun and Moon swords were in each arm and there was silence.
"Lan lets get out of the way!" Chaud grabbed Lan's wrist and ran off to give Calista space.
"PROGRAM ADVANCE!" The back wings of Calista's back began to glow. It spread real wings and Calista jumped high in the air.
"GALAXY SWORD!" They jumped back down and they saw their target: The giant virus. She ran rapidly to the large virus and counted, '1 2 3 4 5!' each time they slashed it to form a star. The virus was deleted and Calista was in a sitting position. She panted hard and closed her eyes to get rid of all the stress.
"You okay?" Calista opened her eyes and saw Lan and Chaud next to her. She nodded slowly.
"Cally! You okay?" The dimensional area had slowly formed out and Oscar ran to her.
"Yeah Oscar. You don't have to worry." She took a pause and shouted, "And I'm PUMPED!" She smiled.
Everyone sighed and everyone is done for a while. They took a break in the lunchroom except Dr.Hikari wanted to talk to Oscar so they went in a different direction.
Lunchroom 11:00
"So how do you make your own chips?" Lan asked while he sat next to her.
"Well, I kinda got it from my mom and so I got it by heart." Calista responded.
"You can make any chip you wish?" Maylu asked.
"If I want to. But only if I use it. Like this one." She opened her black purse and held a chip in the air.
"This is a Love Cannon. You can have it." Calista gave it to Maylu and Maylu stared at it. It has Roll shooting heart blasts.
"This looks great..." Maylu smiled.
"Hey what about me?" Lan asked jealously.
"Hah. You were the one who cause the Program Advance right at me. Why should I- huh?"
Lan had his head down with distress.
"Um. I think it's better if you give him a chip because...he has no rare chips." Maylu sweatdropped. Calista's eyes went wide. She sighed and took out another chip.
"Okay Lan. I'll give you something." Lan looked up and saw the chip.
"This is a Head Cannon. It forms on top of your head and it will shoot at any direction." She gave it to Lan and Lan smiled.
"Thank you!" Lan held the chip high in his head. Its image was a helmet with a large cannon on top. He didn't want to slot in just yet but he noticed that Chaud was being so quiet.
"You okay? You look depressed." Lan asked Chaud.
"Huh? I'm okay." Chaud looked at Lan and found out that he was staring at the gold chain.
"What's that?" Lan pointed at the chain. Chaud took the locket off and handed it to Lan.
"It's a locket that my father gave to me yesterday. It has my mother's picture in it if you want to look." Lan held the heart-shaped locket and began to open it. He heard the Moonlight Sonata play and he saw the picture in amazement.
"She's beautiful..." Lan stared at the woman carefully.
"Yeah. I miss her a lot." Chaud answered. Lan closed the locket as the music faded. He handed it back to Chaud. He started to change the subject.
"Did you get an invite from Yai?"
"What for?" He asked.
"She is starting a masquerade ball soon."
"No I didn't-" Then the P.E.T beeped.
"Now I got it." Chaud said.
"Are you going? I mean, I know you are a rival of Ayano Tech but still she is a friend." Lan questioned.
"I want to go because..." Chaud blushed.
"Are you going to ask Calista out?" Lan patted him on the shoulder and whispered.
"Uh..." Chaud made a bigger blush. He stared at Calista talking about the chip Maylu got from her.
"This is great! You can tell her that you like her right off the bat!" Lan smiled.
"Well...I'm giving it more time okay so just you wait." Chaud answered.
Cyber World
"So why were you blushing earlier?" Roll asked Armella.
"It's nothing." Armella blushed again.
"See you're doing it again!" Roll smiled. Armella sighed. She whispered something to Roll and Roll-
"AAAAAHHHHHH!"
-did that...
"Roll! Are you okay?" Roll faced to see Maylu with a concern look on her face.
"Yes Maylu. It's nothing!" The screen turned off as Maylu left.
"YOU'RE IN LOVE?" Roll squealed. Armella blushed high temperature red.
"With who?"
"I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU!" Armella pushed her softly in the shoulder. She took a pause and did a long sigh.
"Do you promise not to tell anyone?" Armella asked. Roll nodded and Armella sighed again.
"It's...it's...it's-"
