Author's Notes:Well I'm still looking for people to review. I have low selfastream. So help me built it. Oh and I've desided to change the age of Light and Cunningham to 18 because it's just personal mental thought said 18 would be a bette age to set it at.
Disclamier:I don't own Megaman or IGPX, if I could own IGPX I would make the show all about team Velshtein, nuf said.
Lan entered into the front room of the Koshaki Mansion. Lan peaked his head into the giant living room, noticing that Light was sitting their on a couch, with his laptop. Lan decided to be nosey and see what he was doing. Lan walks up to Light," What you doing, Light."
Light quickly hit the 'F6' button on his laptop and switched to a long essay," Homework. Now could you go away, I need to finish up this midterm."
Lan sighed, "Gezz, don't have to be so pushy. I just need to know where Ana is."
"Hmph, odds are she's upstairs with Cunningham, probably making out like at dinner." Light said with his eyes closed, trying to block out the laughs from his Shimgami, Ryuk.
"That was a close one wasn't it Light." Ryuk said then let out a few of his signature 'Hyuk's.
Light waited till Lan was out of the room to speak, "Well you never can know with that kid, I've heard he's saved the world in the past two years around five times and I just have this feeling that Ana and Chaud will just never work. Cunningham is more capable of taking care of her, he just better as a whole then that Chaud brat. I'm only looking out for her."
"Hyuk, Hyuk, looks like you still can care for people." Ryuk laughed.
Light looked at Ryuk with a you-really-think-I-care-cause-I'm-only-using-her look,"Hah your so funny Ryuk, I'm only using her. I'll kill her once her usefulness is all used up."
Ryuk sighed and figured now would be a good time to tell Light," Light, you know how I'll speak up every once in a while, well now is one of those times. Ana is no human, well not completely, she's a fourth shimgami. So you can't actually kill her. You try shooting her; she'll probably see it before you do, so you can't really kill her."
"Oh great, this is just great. She'll kill me if I even attempt to kill her." Light groaned.
"Just wanted to let you know, oh and have you heard the news. That tournament your in, well just about everyone has dropped out. So they are going straight to the racing rounds and the Japan IGPX Circuit will be done by the time finals come back here. I bet you can't wait to see if you can get your team back together." Ryuk commented.
Light's face got stiff," rap, look here, they are all randomly generated. Including positions."

-teams that are permitted to trade members.
All mechs have been made for each team's unique style of net battling. Net Navies are now able to co-pilot the mech, if the operator chooses so.
Lan nocks on the door, and then walks in. To see Cunningham and Ana's mouths dropped at the computer screen. Lan reads the email on the screen, then says,"Greaaattt, I'm forward, and don't even know how to work a mech."
"It's alright Lan, I can be your co-pilot, I'll guide your way through." Megaman said to relieve Lan.
"Your... you're on my team..." Alex stuttered then turned his head to look at Ana," Are you as good as midfielder as you are forward."
Ana nodded," There was a reason that I like to mess around in the simulators and try out the different positions... ok maybe not, but I'm just as good midfielder as I am forward. Just hope that you like your off season being cut short does not bother you."
Cunningham laughed and blushed," Well I actually I only came out here to visit you, I just could not live without seeing you, and since next season I'll be moving here to Japan, we'll be together for at least four years. Maybe more."
"Gezz, why are you two always flirting with each other?" Lan asked with a disgusted look on his face.
Ana and Cunningham just shrugged," Don't know."
"Well at least this damn tournament is almost over; we're in the quarter finals. We must be some of the best in the world." Lan said cheerfully as Ana started typing up a few new programs.
"Lan, can you go into my battle chip cabinet and grab me three blank chips." Ana asked as Lan nodded and walked over to her battle chip cabinet.
"Which shelf?" Lan asked.
"I think it's the fourth shelf." Ana said as Lan pulled out a black notebook with the words 'Death Note' imprinted on the cover of it.
"Err, Ana what is this." Lan asked.
Ana turned around to see Lan holding her Death Note,"Lan put that thing down that's my personal tool. It keeps me alive."
"This little thinks keeps you alive...don't tell me this is what you use to kill people with.. Kira." Lan said with a I-knew-it-you-are-Kira look.
"Well yes... please don't tell anyone Lan, only Light, Alex and Lakura know and now you." Ana whispered.
"I won't so, any update on Chaud's location." Lan asked.
"None at all. Lakura I think is taking a walk with Protoman." Ana said
At the IGPX Japan Circuit cyber world
"So do you know why Chaud ran off." Lakura asked.
"I remember him say he was just fed up with everything going on around him, but personally I think it's because Cunningham." Protoman replied as they continued to stroll along the cyber raceway.
"Well I really hope he does come back, I'm sure he'd like to beat Cunningham at his own game. I'm sure Ana would love to see you again." Lakura said with a big smile on her face. A few minuets of science pasted.
"You know it's been a while since we've been together, just by ourselves." Protoman said.
"Yeah, it has, I've been thinking. What would you think if we..."Lakura said as she started to blush," start dating."
"I'd love that." Protoman said as he put his hand around Lakura's waist.
"I'm glad." Lakura said as Protoman got in closer and then there lips met in a passionate kiss. Five minuets pasted and then they broke the kiss.
" I better get going, Ana will start to worry, oh and Proto will you get Chaud on the next flight to IGPX City, California." Lakura said as she logged out.
Protoman could only nod and blush.
Ana's room
"So what news do you have." Lan asked.
"Protoman said he'll make sure he's on the next flight over there. So what did I miss." Lakura asked.
"Not much, I guess we should get packing. Lan goes to the room next door and you'll find some clothes, and other things you'll need. Alex dear, I have your things in my closet for some bizarre reason." Ana said as she pushed Lan out the door.
"I'm not going to even ask why." Cunningham said as he grabbed some of battleships, a set of boxers, a pare of jeans and a nice battened up shirt and stuck them into a bag.
Ana looked over at Alex and gave him the Shouldn't-you-pack-more-clothes-then-that-beacause-we-will-be-gone-for-at-least-two-days look," You do know we'll be there at least for around four months and all your packing is enough clothes for a day."
"Well since it's a fourteen hour flight to California, and I still have my condo in California, I'll just pick up clothes from there." Alex said with a smile on his face.
"Well I guess that makes since." Ana said as she held the death note in her hands.
"You know you'll get some kind of suspicion if you bring that." Cunningham pointed out.
"I guess your right, maybe I'll just bring about fifty pages and mix them into an old diary." Ana said with a smirk on her face that would normally match Cunningham except that his expression was a smile, it was rare but beautiful.
"You always have to have an excuse to kill someone." Alex said as Ana stuck the diary into the carry on bag.
"Yep, never know when I might need it." Ana said as she stuck in an old Kagerou playbook.
"Why you packing that?" Cunningham asked.
"Never know, my plays might be better then some of the ones Old Man Hamndra comes up with." Ana said as she then packed a large sum of battle chips in the bag. Then finally stuck her clothes in.
"Heh, probably right, never know you might become a full time pilot on the team. We've been thinking of taking Jan off the team. I'm sure, I'd enjoy you then Jan anytime." Alex said as he continued to smile.
"I'd like that, we'll see after the tournament, I'd still have school, net savior duties, and the Kira case probably." Ana said as she smiled at Alex.
"We better get some sleep, we can take my plane to California." Ana said as she stepped into the closet to change into her pajamas. A few minuets later, she stepped out.
"You look good in that. Well I guess I'll be heading a few doors down. So night." Alex said as he gave Ana a kiss on the cheek and then exited the room. Then Lan came in.
"So Ana can I try out the death note...PLEASE!" Lan yelled.
"Fine, turn on the news and just get a good look at the face and write out the name of the criminal correctly and don't write down a cause of death." Ana said as she grabbed the remote that controls the TV.
"Cool!" Lan said as he grabbed a pin and sat down on Ana's bed and watched as they showed a criminal by the names of Nissan Abu, who has raped several women. A minuet later, the man was found dead and announced on the news. Lan knew he had done it. For the first time, he had felt the sensation to kill a person, and he had liked it. Ana hovered behind him.
"Now fork it over, you'll meet the shimgami Light has probably tomorrow. Now get to bed." Ana said as she snatched the notebook back from Lan and pushed him out the door. Ana walked over to her PET charger.
"So Lan's tasted blood, what are you going to do about it." Lakura asked.
Ana sighed," Don't know, I just hope when he meets Ryuk, he'll be scared enough to never want to do it again."
"You should get to be now." Lakura suggested. Ana nodded and went to her large king sized bed and fell asleep.
Next Morning
Lan woke up the next morning around ten o'clock in the morning. Getting up and getting dressed in a new set of clothes, he walked down to the dinning room to see if Ana, Cunningham, and Light were already eating. As he figured they were all down their eating silently. Lan noticed that they were all exchanging their signature death looks at each other. Ana's was I'm-going-to-friggin'-court-marshal-you-ass-if-you don'-shut-it-wait-never-mind-we're-not-in-the-army look. Cunningham had his normal half bored and half I'm-going-to kill-you-if-you-look-at-me kind of look. Then Light was looking more like OMG-I-think-there-going-to-kill-me-wait-I'm-Kira-I-can-kill-them-if-I-felt-like-it look.
"Err morning everyone." Lan said kind of nervous with the looks they were giving him.
"A bit of tension, eh Lan."Megaman whispered from the PET.
"Yeah, you think." Lan replied to his blue friend.
"Morning Lan... I guess you can see that most of us are on edge at the moment. It's the tournament that's really gathering our nerves, especially since it's one of our specialties." Ana explained then stuck the eggs she had on her fork into her mouth.
Lan grabbed a plate of food and then took a seat two seats away from Ana," So what time do we have to leave to California."
"In an hour, once we get to California we're enemies, you do know that right." Light said as he put down his newspaper he was reading.
Lan gulped," Err what you mean...exactly."
"He means that this is basically the IG-1 and the tension level is always high and stressful. If you can't stand the pressure, you might want to quit." Cunningham said as he at the ham on his plate.
"Cunningham and I are on the same team so we don't have to worry about each other. You guys I do worry about and odds are you don't stand a damn fighting chance, sure Chaud's team might, but not a very good one at that. Satomi is our teams natural enemy. But that's what you get when you're on the IG-1's best team in the league. Sure I'm not forward, but they never say that you can't go out and attack the forward Mr. Team Hikari Captain." Ana warned.
"And knowing her she will. I think she has a bit of vengeance in mind. So odds are she'll rip you to shreds." Cunningham said.
Lan was a bit scared," Err you wouldn't do that to your little brother now would you."
"On the race track, it does not matter. Hell Cunningham and I fought out there like we never knew each other and just want the other to go burn in hell." Ana said as she grabbed her PET from her bag.
"Well we better get going, If you still want to head out to take a practice race around the track when we get to IGPX City." Light said as he stood up and pushed in his chair, then grabbed his duffle bag.
"Yes, let's get going, Dew, Jan, Takashi, Fantine, Liz, and Amy are going to meet us at the airport." Cunningham said as he picked up his and Ana's bag and headed near the door.
Ana was a bit erritated,"I can carry my own bag thank you very much."
"Well I thought I would be a gentleman and carry the ladies' bag to the limo." Alex said teasingly as he handed her the bag.
"Well thanks, but I'm your equal now, you do not have to do anything you don't want to do." Ana said a bit wound up.
"Gezz we date and you still don't let your guard down." Cunningham said as he tried to playfully hit her on the head, but Ana just moved one foot and slid under his arm gracefully.
"Getting a bit slow aren't we, Alex dear." Ana taunted as she ran out the room. Cunningham chased after her.
"Light, have they always been like this." Lan asked the golden blond haired boy.
Light nodded,"Yeah, they always try to stay one step ahead of each other."
"Hehe, Light do you know something's following you." Lan said to Light, frozen in place at see the shimgami, Ryuk.
Light mentally slapped himself," Err... it's nothing...did you use a little black notebook in Ana's room last night by any chance Lan.
"Weird.." Lan said as they all left the Koshaki mention.
At DenTeck Airport
"Takashi, I think I see Cunningham and the others." Fantine said.
"Yeah, that's him alright, couldn't miss that face." Takashi said a bit dazed. Cunningham pushed his way thought the crowd of people with Ana attached to his hand. Jan and Dew noticed their hands were attached and broke out laughing.
"What are so funny you two." Alex said.
"Your...You're.. hands are attached to each other." Dew said as he went back to laughing historically.
"You guys are a bunch of asses. Let's board the plane, and I don' want to see you two until we land in California." Ana glared.
"Growwll.. she's as bitchy as always. A year still does nothing to her personality. Guess we can't really say anything since she's basically the little Velshtein Princess. Small, bitchy, and annoying as sin." Dew insulted. Ana walked up to Dew and slapped him across the face.
"Ouch, that has to hurt." Light said.
"Miss Hikari, your plane is ready to board now." The flight attendant said. Ana went into the large plane which had multiple rooms. Enough for everyone. The flight to California was a quiet one at that. They arrived in California around 10 an then next morning.
IGPX City Airport
"Well I guess this is it, we have to make it to the round's opening 'Gala' , still don't see why they don't call it party." Ana said.
"I think it's some weird accountant thing, cause it's one less letter." Cunningham replied.
"So I guess you'll be my date for this, since we might as well say that we're a couple now. My dad says it's ok. So why not." Ana said as she wrapped her arms around Cunningham's arm.
"I guess, it all depends on when you want my crazy fan girls to kill you." Cunningham said, they both laughed. Light had taken Lan to his hotel. Cunningham was going to be staying with Ana.
"Well let's go." Ana said as she dragged him thought the airport and into the limo Ana had waiting for them.
Limo
"So...know when the first race is.?" Ana asked trying to break the science
"Umm I want to say it's on Friday afternoon against I think its Team Satomi." Cunningham said as the limo hopped on to the freeway.
"Great, I guess you'll be kicking Takashi's ass around like always, I hope Stapleton is up to the fight." Ana said, Cunningham looked into her eyes and could easily tell that wanted to get on the track and race.
"Settle down, we have to be at Velshtein headquarters around five in the afternoon. So maybe we could see if they got you mech ready and maybe a real race, just you and me." Alex said.
"Hmph, so you want a rematch, is that what you're tiring to say." Ana said back to Alex with a smile on her face.
"Loser treat winner out to dinner, a nice romantic dinner." Cunningham said.
"My god, Alex Cunningham Hume are you hitting on me." Ana said, she was a bit red from blushing.
"Why yes, I'm glad you notice." Cunningham said.
"Well then your a hell of a lot more romantic then I give you credit for. But I'm getting this weird feeling that the other teams around at the track." Ana said, as Cunningham gave her a strange look.
"Whatever, I keep some clothes over at the headquarters, you can grab your kimono from home. Alright." Alex asked. She nodded
"Nah, I'll have one of the maids deliver it to the building, because I would never want to waste any racing time." Ana said with a smile on her face.
"Eh, what ever let's go tell the old man were back in town and were going out to practice. Knowing him he'll go all postal on you, for them forcing you to be our midfielder." Alex said then let out a chuckle at the thought.
"You have sooooo much faith in me don't you, you'll remember that out on the race track and regret saying that when I destroy your mech before our first race." Ana said with a smirk. Cunningham was silent for a few minuets, then the car stopped.
"Hey look we're here." Cunningham said, he was more relieved that they were there then anything. Cunningham opened up the door and let Ana hop out first.
"Thanks" Ana thanked.
"Don't worry, oh and don't worry I don't think he'll be that harsh on you... well maybe...probably... yeah who am I kidding he's going to blow...but he does know your good, so maybe he'll turn it down a notch." Cunningham said with a smirk.
"Your going to enjoy this aren't you." Ana said bitterly.
"You bet I am." Cunningham said as he past the receptionist and entered the main hallway.
"Well then should we get going." Ana asked Alex as he stopped in the middle of the hallway. It took him a few seconds to reply. Then they opened the door to Sir Hamdra's office.
"Who is it." He said a bit irritated.
"Cunningham, who else sir." Alex replied.
"Come in then, and bring in Miss Hikari who is behind you as well." Sir Hamdra said. Cunningham grabbed Ana's hand with a tight grip and dragged her into the office," Well this is unexpected to see you back in town so soon Cunningham. Mainly with Miss Hikari, but what business do you two have here."
"Sir, we'd like to go down to the race track and get in a few practice lap before we go to the opening lemony tonight." Cunningham said.
"Hmmm, fine go down their, I'll have the pit crew on stand by if either of you two need it. Your dismissed." Sir Hamgra ordered as Ana and Alex quickly escaped to outside of the office.
"I never did like that man." Ana said.
"Heh, you'll get used to him. He has this thing for trying to make this military-like team." Cunningham said as Ana cut him off.
"Well then he sure has you guys all whipped." She commented as they started to walk down the hallway.
"What ever you say... what ever you" Cunningham said to ignore her. They were silent for about ten minuets as they walked down the hallway and into the mech grudge, well it was more like mech warehouse... or ten. Cunningham got into one of the many golf carts that they had open and Ana quickly got into the passenger seat. He drove of to the golf cart to the dressing room, where all of the team velshtien pilots got into their pilot suits(armor?).
"Err Alex, could you turn around." Ana asked as Cunningham sighed as he turned around as she took off her shirt and put on a small black tank top, then took off her jeans to switch out with the burgundy pilot bottoms," You can look now."
"It...looks great on you." Alex said as Ana blushed.
"I'll wait for you outside." Ana said as she walked out. She pasted Dew and Jan who were coming in. Dew glared at her, she just stuck her tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes.
Dressing Room
"Figured we'd find you here, sir." Jan said politely.
"What is you guys, I'm kind of in a hurry, I'm taking Ana out to the race track so we can get in a few practice lap before we go to the stupid 'Gala' and Jan how many times do I have to tell you to lay off with the 'sir's." Cunningham said, it sound to Jan and Dew as if he was running on a short fuse with them.
"Gezz, we just wanted to say hi, that's all. But it figures you're thatched to your dumb ass girlfriend. Still don't see what you like in her." Dew said.
"I'm sorry Si--Cunning----I mean Alex." Jan apologized.
'Man that was close, he still acts like he owes us or something... at least he did not call me Cunningham... The old man even has myself calling me Cunningham. God I have problems.' Alex thought in his head. Dew was heading near two photos in Alex's locker. Dew was able to snatch them away from his locker.
"Dew give those back!" Alex yelled as Dew ran off with the pictures.
"Wow, you still have this photo...when we won our first race in the IG-3." Dew said in awe.
The picture was from about when Alex was fourteen years old, it showed from the left to right, Dew with his same bleach blond hair and his same dorky smile, when he was thirteen. Next to him was Light, had a small smile, and his golden brownish slash blondish hair. Then their was Alex with his half bored, half happy smile, his hair was slightly lighter then it is now, but still up at his gravity defining angle. He still had his pilot suit on, and he was holding a silver trophy, with the words 'Congratulations Team Velshtein on your first win'. Ana was standing right next to him, she was only nine at the time and her hair was only down to her shoulders, unlike it was now where it was about a quarter way down her back. She was wearing a light purple sundress that had a pink ribbon tied around her waist. Then next to her was Jan, he was standing straight up, and still looked the same as he did now. They were all out at the park celebrating the first win, which had been one of many. Alex had known Ana for only two years after that picture. They had meet at the opening ceremony for the IG-1. His parents had been talking with her parents for a while so they saw each other and started talking. They had developed a friendship that night, and only a few weeks later did they meet Jan and Dew. Dew still gave her a hard time, even when they were little. So then they became very close. Only to be closed out on each other when Alex, Jan and Dew all became pilots for the up and coming Team Velshtein. Sure, she was happy for them all. She had know they all wanted to become IGPX pilots. It was just they started spending less and less time with her. She still did come by to visit them, and cheer them on during their race. Hell she even helped them make some of their plays. It was all good times in their childhood.
"It was along time ago, still remember how she always greeted us. She was always their rain or shine. She never did give up on us." Dew said.
The other picture was from the day before the championship race. It was just Her, Light and Alex. They all looked really happy. It was one of their few time they had seen them him smile. They all had on what they normally wear, Alex had on his blue shirt with black jeans. Light had on a white shirt on with black jeans. Ana had a pink baseball t-shirt, and a pair of jeans on. The picture was taken at the same park.
"I better get going...thank you Dew." Alex said as he snatched the picture back from Dew.
"HEY! I was looking at that." Dew complained. Alex place the pictures back in his locker and then left the dressing room.
Mech Graude
"About time you got out, now we only have an hour to practice." Ana yelled.
"Sorry, Dew, Jan and I got caught back on some old memories," Alex apologized.
"It's alright, which mech do I get into." Ana asked.
"You can used the extra forward mech. So we have a fair race." Cunningham said as some of the mechanics helped Alex get into his mech. Ana quickly followed. After the normal safety procedures they were set onto the 'Big I' race track only to find Takashi of Team Satomi, Fantine of Team Skylark, Chaud of Team Blaze, and Lan of Team Hikari all coming out to the race course.
"What the hell are they all doing here." Ana mumbled inside her mech.
"I think they all came out to practice. Isn't that Chaud's forward mech over there." Alex asked.
"I think so. We should as them if they want to race the obstacle course against us." Ana asked.
"Why not. Hey Jan, I know your up their, ask someone to change the track over to the obstacle course." Cunningham asked, Jan just grunted but he started the track change.
"Hey Takashi, since the round has not started yet, let's race." Cunningham said over the speaker that loud everyone to hear.
"You bet." Takashi said with full of confidence in his voice.
"What about everyone else." Cunningham asked.
"I don't see why not." Lan said cheerfully.
"Hmph, whatever." Chaud said as Fantine's mech made a quick nod.
"Then let's start already." Ana yelled from her mech. All the mechs got onto the starting positions. In the front row, Lan and Fantine. The middle row, Ana and Takashi stood in their mechs. Then finally Chaud and Alex Cunningham. The countdown started.
