Playing With a Yoyo

It was two weeks into the summer vacation and they were uneventful, Zerix was beginning to wonder if anything unusual would ever happen. It was almost 11:00 AM when Blackman tried to wake Zerix up. "COME ON ZERIX, GET UP! YOUR MOTHER HAS BEEN CALLING YOU FOR HOURS!"

Zerix answered in his sleep, "Just … five more minutes …"

"He is always like this." Blackman said to himself, and then screamed, "WAKE UP NOW!"

Zerix was so startled that he fell out of bed, "Alright, alright already!" Zerix finally got out of bed and got dressed. It was already 11:40 when he finally went down for breakfast.

He was eating some cereal when Blackman spoke up, "Hey Zerix some people just sent us a warning, by the looks of it everyone in town has gotten it."

"Oh really?" he asked, "Bring it up, please."

"Here we go!" Blackman said as he brought up the e-mail. Zerix started to read.

Attention All Local Operators,

The fugitive navi Zone is on the loose on the net. He is destroying everything; we will suggest that you not log in until further notice. Thank You.

From,

Official Net Battlers

"Sounds like trouble I'll call Andrew!" Zerix quickly picked up the phone and dialed Andrew's number.

Andrew answered the phone, "Yeah?"

"Hey Andrew, it is Zerix!"

"Yeah, so?" Andrew asked sleepily.

"You get that e-mail?" Zerix asked, ignoring that comment.

"Yeah." answered Andrew.

"I think we should go and check things out!" Zerix said excitedly.

"You think, alright, but don't get Blackman deleted on me." Andrew warned sleepily.

"See you!" said Zerix as he hung up the phone.

"Yeah sure." Andrew said as he hung up too.

Zerix hung up the phone. He walked over to his room and looked at the computer before jacking in. "You know he sounded tired, you think he'll show?"

"Beats me?" answered Blackman.

"Darn it, stop doing that! Jack in Blackman" he yelled.

Blackman Logging In

Blackman appeared on the main network in a flash of light and color. Sure enough, it was deserted slash marks everywhere, a sure sign of Zone. "Man, this place is mangled!"

Archman Logging In

"You said it!" answered Archman behind him.

Blackman turned around, "A glad you showed."

"Where do you reckon he went?" Archman asked.

"Beats me?" Blackman answered.

"Do you always say that?" said Archman rhetorically.

Blackman search the network area by area, closely followed by Archman. Finally they found Zone. He was fighting against a strong looking navi who looked a bit like a giant yoyo. He was a small navi, about a head shorter than most. He had a green battle suit over his small figure, with yoyos on his shoulders and knees, like knee pads. He also had a bigger yoyo on his back, maybe used as a backpack. His helmet is like R Megaman's, only his is green and had a yoyo on the back of it. He also had a florescent ring around his hands, as well as on his boots. "Wow! That looks intense!"

"Should we?" asked Archman.

"Wait a second." Blackman answered putting out an arm.

Zone had spoken, "You're dead Yoyoman! You know that you can't beat me!"

The navi that seemed to be Yoyoman answered, "I can beat you! Watch me!" Yoyoman pointed a blaster at Zone. "Yoyo Blaster!" A few yoyos are fired out of the buster and spin towards Zone. Harmless as they looked, they suddenly sprouted blades and spun fast towards Zone. They hit the evil navi with full force blowing him back.

"You may have won this battle, but you haven't won the war!" screamed Zone as he logged out.

Yoyoman stepped forwards, "Hey come back here!"

Zone Logging Out

"Darn, lost him again!"

Blackman walked up the yoyo-like navi, "Impressive, who are, you?"

"Hey, I thought we warned you to not jack in?" Yoyoman answered.

Archman guessed, "So you're an ONB?"

Yoyoman looked over at Archman and said, "Yes, I am Yoyoman an S License ONB agent."

"Sorry, but why does the ONB want Mark Zone?" Blackman asked.

"They are fugitives, they somehow found a way to stop others from logging out so Zone can delete them easier," Yoyoman said and then quickly added, "and how do you now the operator's name?"

"He went to our operators' school. Now he is in hiding, apparently the school lost all known data on Mark after the tournament." answered Archman.

"Well you two had better tell me and my operator anything else you find out. Oh, I'd give anything to get that Zone." Yoyoman said and then added, "Here is my operator's e-mail. His name's Mike. He wants to talk to your operators in the Park at 3:00 PM today."

"Ok then our operators will be there." Blackman confirmed.

Blackman Logging Out

Later that day about four minutes before three o'clock, Zerix Andrew were sitting on a bench at the Park waiting for Mike. Finally a boy came along; he was about 5'6" high. He had brown hair down to the base of his neck. He was moderately fit, but not overly muscular. He wore a black shirt, with a green vest over it. He had on a pair of white baggy sweat pants, and an army pattern belt that held his PET. He had a case on the right side of the belt supposedly, to hold his chips. He also had on a small backpack and he kept a bunch of yoyos handy as well. His shirt also covered his belt. He came striding over to them. "Hello, Mike?" asked Zerix.

"Yes it is I." Mike answered.

"So I am Andrew operator of Archman." said Andrew.

"And I am Zerix operator of Blackman." Zerix added.

"I came here to ask you to tell me every thing you know about Mark." said Mike.

"Ok then I'll start. Mark went to our school, but he refused to give any public info about himself to the school, probably so no student would know where he lived …" Zerix Andrew told Mike everything they knew about Mark, from his personality to the incident, at the tournament.

"Thanks for all your help, when ever you see Zone or Mark give me a ring." Mike said as he turned to leave.

"See you!" Zerix said.

"Let's go!" announce Andrew.

"Yeah," said Zerix. As Mike walked away, Zerix Andrew walked away back to their houses after a long eventful day.

Zerix: That was awesome!

Blackman: Oh, I'll give anything to shut that Zone up!

Zerix Blackman: Next time on Blackman's Story, Toys 'n Blades.

Zerix: Cool, this battle between Yoyoman …

Blackman: SHUT YOUR TRAP!
