Chapter 2: NET-BATTLE!

The bell sounded, letting everyone in the class know that lunch was over, and that recess was beginning.

"Hey Drew!" Lan said, "do you want to net-battle?"

"Sure," Drew said, "let's get to the battle-machines."

They ran to the net-battle machines, and turned them on. Mayl and a large boy named Dex also came along. A hologram of the battle field appeared.

"Jack-In! Megaman, Execute!" Lan said.

"Jack-In, Solarman, Transmit," Drew said.

"Megaman, battle routine, set!" Lan said.

"Execute!" Megaman replied.

"Savoc, battle chip in, download," Drew said, putting a chip into a slot on his PET. A sword appeared on Solarman's arm, replacing his hand. The sword was glowing with a golden color, and had purple symbols on it as well.

"Wait!" Dex said, "If Drew wants to net-battle Lan, he'll have to beat me first!"

Megaman backed off, "Jack-In! Gutsman, Execute!" A large navi appeared on the field when Dex said these words. "Alright Gutsman, Beat him to a pulp!"

"Oh please," Solarman said, "I have to fight this wimp?"

"Yeah," Drew said, "But if he insists that we waste time..."

"Wimp?" Dex said, "Gutsman, make them regret those words!"

"Nobody calls us wimps, Guts, Guts!" Gutsman said, "Guts Punch!"

Solarman's mouthguard went down, as he blocked the Guts Punch with his one hand.

"Oh, crap!" Dex said, seeing Solarman having Gutsman right where he wanted him.

With the sword, Solarman sliced, and he made a nice big gap in Gutsman's armor.

"Now, back to my fight with Megaman..." Solarman said. Gutsman was forced to Jack-Out.

"Lan, did you see that?" Megaman asked.

"Yeah," Lan responded, "he beat Gutsman with just one attack."

"We'll need all of our strength to beat him..." Megaman said, "We might even need to Beast-Out..."

"Ready?" Solarman asked, his mouthguard in place.

Then, the bell rang.

'Crap,' thought Drew, 'we spent too much time with those two idiots.'

"Well, we can battle later," Drew said, mad that he took more than a millisecond with Gutsman, "Solarman, jack-out." Drew and Lan walked back to class, Mayl walking closely to Lan. Dex was too ashamed to say a thing.

'Wow,' Lan thought, 'Drew is the best Net-Battler I've ever seen...'

"Where'd you get that chip Drew?" Lan asked.

"I made it," he said, "Savoc was originally Solarman's default weapon, but he has so many powers, I couldn't program the sword into him, so I made a chip out of the program."

They walked into the class, and they took their seats. Mr.Lare started another lesson, which both Lan and Drew slept through. They woke up to the bell.

"Time for the virus busting lesson," Mr. Lare said.

The class walked to the machines, and got into a line. Drew was in the front.

"Alright Drew, you'll be first." Mr. Lare said.

Drew Jacked Solarman into the field's computer, and he once again appeared in the battle-field. Mettaurs suddenly started appearing. There were at least a hundred.

"Full-Synchro!" Drew yelled, fusing with Solarman once again but this time, he was in the cyberworld. He held up his hand with the Sol-De-Vice, and pointed it at the viruses. Only one word escaped his mouth, "Taiyoh." Beams of light burst from his hand, and they obliterated every Mettaur in the area.

"And that's why I didn't want to demonstrate in the classroom," drew said.

After school, Drew went to the beat up old house he called a home. He unlocked the door, via computerized door locks, and went inside. The one story building wasn't the worst place to live, and Drew sort of liked it. Its previous owners had even left their laptop plugged in and forgotten. He walked to his room, a small bedroom that he kept everything he owned in. His bed, his only other change of clothes, the laptop, and his two most prized possessions, a necklace he usually wore, and a large sword. His life wasn't exactly what you would call luxurious, but he was content with it, since it had running water, electricity, and plumbing.

"Solarman," he said, "today wasn't too bad, especially since we didn't get kicked out this time."

"Yeah," Solarman responded, "and I got to see some pretty girl navis, especially that one girl's..."

"Yeah, I think I like that navi's op too..." Drew said. He sped through his homework, then, he jacked Solarman into the net for a while, and then, he went to bed.
