Chapter 6:Iris, Luminie, and love

Lan quickly got home, geared up for the cruise. But when he got there, Gaia was waiting.

"Hello Hikari.

"…You must be the new neighbor. What are you doing here?"

"I came to tell you, that when you come, don't be intimidated when you see me and Mayl together."

"Come again?"

"Me and Mayl, we like each other. Were a couple."

"… Oh, ok… Can I ask you something?"

"Hmm?"

"I wanna Net Battle you. Will you net battle me?"

"Sure, always looking for a challenge."

"Lets Jack into my Stadium-gram."

"Jack in, Axl, Execute!"

"Jack in, Megaman, Execute!"

Megaman stood they're and observed his opponent. He had two hand guns, Thrusters on his feet, meaning panel attacks are useless..

"Huh?" X looked at him…

"Axel! What are you doing here?" Zero asked.

"Do I know you?"

Zero and X gasped.

"Battle Routine, Set!"

"Execute!"

Megaman Jumped at Axl, trying to punch him. Axl jumped, and shot a funny looking shot at him., Megaman got hit, but stood his ground. Megaman wanted to get this over with fast, so he used a program advance, life sword. Axl jumped towards Megaman. Megaman slashed at him, and Axl took terrible damage. Axl shot another funny shot at Megaman, but Megaman dodged it. Megaman finished it by Using Wide blade.

"Axl, logging out."

"I expected your Navi to be stronger."

"He will get better, trust me."

"But, can you do something for me…"

"What's that?"

"Protect Mayl. With your life. Nothing should happen to her, ok?"

"… I will. With my life."

Lan went up-stairs and got ready. He wore a black tux with a white bow. He took off his bandana, much to Megaman's surprise. He picked out a white Tux program with a black bow tie for Megaman. Then he jacked Megaman into the copy bot. They then went to Mayl's house. Lan knocked on the door, and Roll opened the door (Looks like Yai got generous), wearing a pink dress with Hot Pink earrings. Megaman's Jaw dropped. She ushered them in, and they waited for Mayl. She came down-stairs, wearing a white dress, with white gloves and white earrings, with make-up, and glitter on her face. Lan would've Complemented her a lot if Gaia didn't come down with her.

"W-w-wow, Mayl. Your look… Astonishing…"

"Giggle Thanks Lan. Lets go, Yai's waiting."

Gaia took Mayl's hand, Roll grabbed Megaman's hand, and Lan got stuck with X and Zero.

"Why don't you tell her?"

"Hmm, what? Tell her what?"

"You like her. I know it."

"Coming from someone like you Zero, I don't really know what to say."

"…"

"Zero has fallen in love before."

"What? Zero? What was her name?"

"..Iris…"

"! Iris? She saved Megaman before…."

"!"

"But sacrificed herself to save him."

"…"

"But they brought her back. Maybe you'll see her."

"I hope so…"

"How bout you X?"

"There really isn't anyone in my life like that…"

"Oh come on X, There's Alia."

"Were just friends."

"Whatever X. If the real Axel was here, he'd make a snappy comment."

"The real Axel?"

"We have an Axel in our world, he looks a little bit like that Navi. He's gone missing though…"

"How sad."

"It was a true tragedy. He was a top class hunter. He could've wiped those punks with a little more training."

"Here we are."

The ship looked as if the Titanic would have met its match, it was so huge. But Lan was more focused on Mayl…

"Mayl looks so beautiful… I wish I was with her. Lan, snap out of it man! You're losing your sanity. But Mayl..."

They boarded the ship, with Yai waiting. "Mayl! Lan! Is this the boy you were telling me about?"

"Yep. Ain't he cute?"

"Oh he's a keeper."

"Uh, Yai… I thought this was a party, not a business trip."

"Whoops, daddy is selling this program that starts with a L… Any who, let me show you guys around."

"I'll stay behind" said Lan.

"I will as well" Said Gaia.

The girls went exploring, Megaman and Roll went dancing, while Lan and Gaia stood alone.

"So, X, Zero, What are you guys up for pitting against each other?"

"Well, I don't mind if Zero doesn't."

"I don't. How do we battle?"

"I give you guys a certain number of chips, and you use them to your advantage. If you need to know what they do, ask me."

"Ok. Ready X?"

"Born ready!"

"Battle Routine, Set!"

"Execute!"

X and Zero appear on a battle-field, and Lan loads chips for both of them. Zero doesn't know that he has the awesome Gundesol SP Chip, but He sticks with a WideSword. X Finds the MarkCannon to be a nice weapon, in which he's right.

Both pick they're chips, and attack! Zero uses WideSword, and his Z-Saber becomes a WideSword. He's enjoying this so far. X Downloads his MarkCannon, and he locks onto Zero and fires. Zero is hit, but still dashes at X. He slashes at him, X jumps, and downloads Cannon. He nicks a few shots off Zero, and Zero falls to his knees. But not giving up, He used the sword combination he saw Megaman did. He uses Life Sword, and X Gets hurt Badly. He looks at his chips, and discovers a nice looking chip. Zero Charges in and goes for the finish, when out of no-where, X uses the Django Chip! Zero is badly injured. X decides to bring it down to his level by using Long Sword. They both Slash at each other, and they both Log Out, and it ended in a tie.

"Pant pant pant That was a great battle… We should do that again sometime." Zero says while panting.

"Hey, Where's Gaia?"

"AGGGGHHHHH!"

Lan rush's to action.

"What happened?"

"Someone stole the Luminie program!"

X and Zero gasp.

"You two know something." Lan says.

"Well, Luminie was our latest enemy. He wanted to make a reploid utopia. But he wanted to kill all the humans too. We stopped him, but he struck Axel badly, and he disappeared after that…"

"Hmm. Maybe there is a connection."

"Possibly. Sir, what was it suppose to do?"

"It would enhance a Navi's abilities, changing his form into an angel like Navi."

"That's Luminie! We have to get back!"

"Ok, on it. I know who to start with also."
