Chapter 12: Battle Field Dentech City!
'Lan and the gang are face to face with Aaron Regal and now the battle for Dentech City is about to begin. Who will come out on top?'
1013 Tokyo Lane
Lan and the gang are face now face to face with Aaron Regal, the bitter offspring of the notorious Dr. Regal as the battle for Dentech City is just seconds from starting.
"Your reign of terror ends here Aaron!" Lan yells to Aaron. "You're not going to complete your mission if I have anything to do with it! Regal didn't finish his and neither will you!"
"And you're going to stop me?" Aaron says with a twisted smile. "You may have been able to defeat my father, but I doubt that you'll get lucky a second time. My father was foolish enough to let his guard down, but I'm smarter then that."
"It's not smart to speak ill of the dead, especially to the one you call daddy." Riaka comments. (Burn!)
"Regal got everything he deserved as will you!" Lan shouts.
"You and what army?" Aaron questions as he begins laughing hysterically. "I certainly hope you don't mean that tag team of losers you call reinforcements."
"Him, his reinforcements and his net navi, Megaman!" Megaman's voice now speaks from Lan's PET.
"Make that double!" Protoman's voice speaks from Chaud's PET.
Grabbing his PET, Lan now brings it into his view and spots Megaman on the screen.
"Megaman, you made it back safely." Lan says with a smile forming.
"You bet I did." Megaman says returning the smile. "Now, let's take this guy down together."
"You got it." Lan replies, now turning back to Aaron.
"So what'll it be Hikari?" Aaron questions, keeping his sharp gaze on Lan. "Should I end this battle now and take over Dentech City with my lovely queen Maylu, or should I allow you time to beg for mercy? Decisions, decisions."
"Correction, by the time this battle ends, it is you who will be begging for mercy!" Lan replies in anger as he slants his eyes while sending a death glare in Aaron's direction.
"Well then, without further a due." Aaron speaks as he brings the device into his view.
Pressing the yellow button on the device, the dimensional converters on the tower now light up, from the bottom of the tower up. With the converters lit up, a beam now shoots from each converter, which forms into one single beam that shoots into the sky. A dimensional area now covers the area.
"A dimesional Area." Riaka speaks.
"Welcome to my domain." Aaron says in a welcoming tone. "Too bad your visit is a short one!"
"Let's dance!" Lan hisses.
Grabbing their PET's, Lan, Chaud, and Riaka now insert the synchro chips into their PET's.
"BEGIN CROSS-FUSION!" Lan, Chaud, and Riaka say in unison.
Bright lights now emerge from their PET's, which engulf the three warriors. The light now disappears, revealing the three Net Saviors in Cross-fusion form. Lan in Megaman cross-fusion, Chaud in protoman cross-fusion, and Riaka in Search cross-fusion.
Aaron now applauds the three as he nods.
"Very impressive if I do say so myself." Aaron says with approval in his voice. "But, I'm afraid you're still two steps behind."
Grabbing his PET, Aaron now inserts a dark synchro chip into his PET. Data sentences scroll down the screen as dark clouds appear and completely cover Aaron. Two huge lightening bolts shoot through the dark clouds as Aaron begins transforming. The darks clouds now disappear, revealing Aaron in Blademan Cross-Fusion. The helmet has purple stripes on both sides with spikes placed above the purple stripes. The body armor is black and purple. The arms are purple with spikes on the elbows. The legs are black with spikes sitting on the armor's knee caps. The chest armor is black with purple stripes embedded next to the symbol, which is a Ying-Yang symbol sitting in front of a dagger pointing south.
Seeing Aaron in his cross-fusion form, everyone gazes in awe.
"I've never seen a cross-fusion like that before and as much as I hate to say this, it's impressive." Chaud comments.
"You're not helping the matter any Chaud." Lan snaps, not taking his eyes off of Aaron.
"Oh, but that's not all." Aaron says as he extends his closed right fist over the crowd. Opening his hand, the remainder of the dark loids now appear.
Lan, Chaud, and Riaka now look around at the Dark Loids that are surrounding them.
"This is going to be quite a battle." Riaka speaks as he positions his scope gun in front of him.
"Got that right." Chaud replies.
"You're telling me." Lan adds in.
"Lan, me and Riaka will take care of the Dark Loids, while you take care of Aaron." Chaud orders, now turning to Lan. "You saved Dentech City once before, so make history and do it again."
"You got it." Lan replies with a nod and a smile.
Returning the smile, Chaud and Riaka now head off to go deal with the dark loids as Lan turns back to Aaron.
"It's time to make history in Dentech City once more." Lan says to himself. "Dash Attack!"
The green glider appears as Lan jumps on it and is lifted into the air, now headed for Aaron. Continuing towards Aaron, Lan now converts his right arm to the Charge Shot cannon with it beginning to charge. Continuing towards Aaron and now being close enough, the dash attack stops as Lan aims the cannon towards Aaron.
"Charge Shot!" Lan calls.
The beam is now released from the cannon and is heading towards Aaron at light speed. Eyeing the attack coming at him, Aaron smirks as he positions his right arm in front of him with his Aura shield appearing. The attack now impacts the shield, but instead of disappating, the attack bounces off of the shield.
"What the?" Lan questions in disbelief, not believing his attack was deflected. "Where did that come from?"
"The same place this came from." Aaron says with a smirk as he now aims his left hand's palm in Lan's direction. "Necro-Flames!"
An eruption of blue flames now emerge from Aaron's palm and are heading towards Lan at rapid speed. Unable to dodge the fierce flame storm, Lan is now impacted and is knocked off the dash attack. The dash attack disappears as Lan now hits the ground. (Can you say ouch?)
"Rebound." Aaron says with a victorious tone as he now turns to Maylu.
"I'll be back, my love." Aaron speaks, blowing her a kiss.
Maylu scrunches up her nose in disgust.
Turning back to the crowd, Aaron now jumps off of the tower. Touching down on the ground, Aaron lands in front of Lan as he hovers over him.
"Now, let's get this battle started right." Aaron says with a twisted smile as he raises his right hand that is balled into a fist and is covered with blue flames.
Chaud's Battle
Chaud finds himself surrounded by Videoman, Bowlman, Gravityman, and Savageman with his Sonic Boom sword drawn.
:::I get to battle with the dumbest of the bunch.:::: Chaus says to himself as he keeps his sights on the four dark loids in front of him. :::I feel so honored.:::
"So you're one of Lan Hikari's friends are you?" Videoman questions as his video tape roll appears and begins to fill with video tape. "Well, this should be a fairly short battle."
"I agree, but at the end, it is you who will be scattered data!" Chaud replies.
"We'll see about that!" Videoman speaks in anger as his video tape finishes filling up.
Videoman now sends his video tape roll in Chaud's direction with it coming at him at in warp speed. Seeing the video roll coming at him, Chaud smirks as he now disappears from the dark loids sights by the ability of the Area Steal battle chip.
"I hate it when they do that!" Videoman yells in frustration. "Where did he go this time?"
"Looking for me?" Chaud's voice speaks.
Hearing Chaud's voice, the dark loids begins looking for Chaud. Continuing to look around for him and not seeing any traces of Chaud, the four dark loids are now impacted by a sonic boom wave and are knocked to the ground. Chaud now reappears in front of the fallen dark loids.
"Ameturs." Chaud says with a smirk. "You're right about one thing Videoman, this was a fairly short battle."
Chaud now turns around to see Riaka fighting with his crowd of Dark Loids.
"Looks like Riaka could use some help." Chaud says as he now weilds his sonic boom sword.
Just as Chaud turns to go help Riaka, he is suddenly stopped by hearing: Gravity Drive!"
A multicolored beam now hits Chaud, which knocks him to his knees.
"Gravityman!" Chaud hisses through his clenched teeth.
"Hold him right there!" Savageman says, now getting to his feet. "He's going to pay for what he just did!"
Getting into position, Savageman begins grinding his feet into the ground, revving himself up for speed. Continuing to grind his feet into the ground and having built up his speed, Savageman now begins charging towards Chaud and Gravityman with Chaud in his radar. Continuing towards the two, Savageman now slams into Chaud, releasing him from Gravityman's beam.
Savageman has Chaud pinned to the ground with Chaud struggling to get out of his death grip.
"This is where you draw your last breath!" Savageman fiercly hisses as he now raises his right claw.
"Not in this life!" Chaud yells as he quickly converts his right arm to the charge shot cannon.
Quickly aiming the cannon towards Savageman's face, the cannon fires off and impacts Savageman, knocking him off of Chaud. (man, that had to hurt!)
Being free from Savageman's death grip, Chaud now turns around and spots a huge green bowling ball heading right for him. Performing a back hand spring, Chaud quickly removes himself from the bowling ball's path.
"You are really starting to get on my last good nerve!" Chaud firmly speaks as he now converts his right arm to the spreader cannon.
Aiming the cannon towards the dark loids, the spreader cannon fires a rain of shots that now impacts the four dark loids.The rain storm of shots continues that creates a smoke screen. The rain of shots now discontinues as the smoke screen begins to slowly clear out. As the smoke screen continues clearing out, Chaud now hears: Savageman Deleted!
The smoke screen completely clears, revealing Videoman, Gravityman, and Bowlman laying all about the battle field.
"Time to clean house." Chaud speaks as his right arm now converts to the electro sword.
Riaka's Battle
Riaka now avoids the wave of ekectricty that Brightman has released.
"You're going to have to do better then that if you want to bring me down!" Riaka says. "Satellite Ray!"
A swarm of miniture satellites now appears and begins raining satellite blasts on the field.
Riaka evacuates the area as Allegro, Plantman, Brightman, and Swordman are impacted by the blasts. The satellies continues shooting with Plantman getting deleted in the ambush.
(Plantman Deleted!)
The satellites now disappear with the ambush of blasts ending. The light smoke screen created by the satellites' rays shooting ambush clears as Riaka begins looking around the area, now noticing that Allegro, Brightman, and Swordman remain with Plantman's data floating through the area.
"Targets Locked!" Riaka says with a smirk.
Activating the Chameleon chip, Riaka disppears as he now becomes apart of his surroundings. The three remaining Dark Loids now begins looking for Riaka.
"I had enough of these Net Saviors!" Swordman yells in frustration as a sword now materalizes in his right hand. "I have fought with them for the last time! Come out and show yourself coward!"
Having heard what Swordman just said, Riaka now pulls out a search grenade. Pulling the pin from the grenade, Riaka throws the grenade at the three dark loids that are continuing to look around the field for him.
"You guys aren't too bright." Riaka whispers to himself as he continues watching the dark loids search for him.
Within a minute, the grenade explodes with the impact of the explosion impacting all three dark loids. Riaka now reappears as he cocks his scope gun. Seeing the three remaining dark loids scattered on the field, Riaka begins firing reputious shots, insuring that all three get impacted. Continuing to fire at the three Dark Loids, Swordman is impacted the hardest and is now deleted.
(Swordman Deleted!)
Riaka now brings the firing ambush to an end as the smoke from the grenade and scope gun blasts begins clearing out. As the smoke continues clearing, Allegro and Brightman now emerge from the half cleared smoke screen.
"Two down and two left to go!" Riaka says with a smirk as he positions his scope gun in front of him.
Cocking his scope gun once more, Riaka's search soul's helmet visor now covers his eyes as the visor's target locks onto Allegro and Brightman.
"Target's Locked!"
Lan's Battle
Lan now avoids a swarm of Aaron's green Daemon Orbs as the attack impacts the ground where he was standing. Converting his right arm to the Laser Blast Cannon, Lan aims it towards Aaron as the cannon now fires. Spotting the beam coming at him, Aaron smirks as his shield now appears in front of him. The laser blast attack now impacts the shield and immediately disappates.
"We've thrown just about everything we had at this guy!" Megaman speaks in frustration. "He has counteracted every last attack and we can't even get near him. What will it take to bring this guy down?"
"I don't know, but I will make sure something will." Lan answers as he now converts his right arm to the Long Sword.
Weilding this sword, Lan now dashes towards Aaron. Continuing towards Aaron, Lan now leaps into the air and positions his sword so it would directly impact Aaron on contact. Bringing the sword down and with it being just inches from touching Aaron, Aaron now catches the sword's blade between his hands.
"No way!" Lan says in disbelief.
"Way and nice try Hikari." Aaron speaks calmly.
Forcefully bringing his hands together, Aaron now shatters the sword's blade. Balling his right hand into a fist, Aaron swiftly punches Lan in his left jaw, immediately knocking him to the ground. Aaron now converts his right arm to the Necro-Blade as he begins approaching Lan. Continuing towards Lan and now reaching him, Aaron looks down at him.
"And you made a promise to have me begging for mercy by the time this battle is over, but yet I'm not the one who is tasting defeat at my opponet's hands." Aaron says. "Why don't you make it easier on yourself and surrender."
"I'll never surrender to you!" Lan chokes out as he now turns to Aaron.
"That's too bad." Aaron says with a twisted smile forming as he now brings his Necro-Blade into his view. "I would have spared you had you surrendered, but you leave me no choice but to destroy you. At least with you out of the way, me and Maylu can live our lives peacefully. Too bad you won't be attending our wedding and If you're wondering what type of wife she will be, I can tell you now, a good one."
"You're more twisted then I thought if you think Maylu will ever marry something like you!" Lan spits to Aaron.
"You've said your last words." Aaron speaks. "Now it's time to say good-bye!"
Raising his sword, Aaron brings it down with it coming at Lan at rapid speed.
Eyeing the sword coming down on him, Lan now shifts to the right as the sword impacts the ground.
Aaron and Lan continue their battle as Roll now begins stirring in the PET. Opening her eyes, Roll sits up and begins looking around at her surroundings.
"Where am I?" Roll questions.
Getting to her feet, Roll turns around to the PET screen and spots Chaud fighting with three dark loids, Riaka fighting with two, and Lan fighting with Cross-Fused Aaron. Now locking her vision on Aaron, Roll's eyes now go wide.
"Did Aaron cross-fuse with Blademan?" Roll inquires.
Roll's question is soon answered as Aaron turns in her direction while trying to hit Lan with his sword.
"Oh no, he did!" Roll says, nearly going speechless. "Blademan is a good navi, but is being corrupted by Aaron. If I can get through to him and talk some sense into him, then maybe he'll call off the cross-fusion with Aaron and become the good navi I know he is."
Closing her eyes and putting her hands together, Roll now begins trying to establish a link with Blademan. Continuing to try to reach Blademan, Roll now makes a connection. A hologram of Roll now appears in a Cyber World setting.
"Blademan, are you here?" Roll questions, now looking around the cyber plain.
"Roll?" Blademan's voice says to her as a hologram of him now appears in front of her. Roll now looks ahead of her and spots Blademan.
"Yes it's me." Roll replies with a smile forming. "Blademan, you have to stop this! You have to call off the cross-fusion with Aaron!"
"I want to, but I can't." Blademan replies. "Aaron is too powerful."
"He's only powerful because he's in full synchro with you." Roll says. "If you go against him, then your cross-fusion will come undone. When a Net navi and Net Op aren't in perfect harmony, then cross-fusion isn't possible. Blademan, you have to use every ounce of your will power to overcome Aaron's control over you."
"I have tried, you have to belive me." Blademan sincerely says as his purple eyes soften.
"I do Blademan, I do." Roll says as she walks over to Blademan and embraces him in a tight hug.
Lan's Battle
Swinging his sword at Lan once more, Aaron now impacts the ground, missing Lan completely.
"Will you keep still?!" Aaron yells, continuing to swing his sword towards Lan.
"Now would be a great time to come up with a plan Lan!" Megaman says in frustration.
"If I weren't trying to avoid a walking chain ball with a huge blade, then I would have come up with one by now!" Lan replies, now feeling himself becoming exhausted.
Feeling himself becoming more exhausted by the minute, Lan now collapses to the ground.
Locking his sights on an exhausted Lan, Aaron now raises his blade.
"I've got you now!" Aaron says with a twisted smile.
"Well, this is it." Lan says as he closes his eyes. "It was nice knowing you Megaman."
Just as Aaron is about to bring his sword down on Lan, his arm suddenly stops. Noticing this, Aaron begins trying to move his arm and finds that he can't.
"What's going on and why can't I move my arm?" Aaron questions in anger.
Not feeling the impact of Aaron's sword, Lan opens his eyes and begins looking around. Now looking ahead of him, he spots Aaron trying to move his arm.
"What happened?" Lan inquires in confusion.
"My guess would be that he is having a problem with his cross-fusion with Blademan." Megaman answers.
"Well that buys us some time for me to come up with a plan." Lan says, keeping his eyes on Aaron's blade.
Cyber World
Roll is continuing to console Blademan.
"Don't worry Blademan." Roll whispers to Blademan as she now loosens her grip and catches with his gaze. "With my and my friends help, we will stop Aaron once and for all. That's a promise."
"Thank you Roll." Blademan says with a smile.
Aaron's voice now comes in through Blademan's communication wire, now breaking Roll and Blademan's concentration.
"Blademan!" Aaron yells.
Hearing Aaron's voice ring through his head, Blademan's eyes now flash crimson, which makes him forecefully shove Roll to the ground. Blademan now gets to his feet while continuing to hold his head.
Roll now sits up and turns to Blademan, noticing that he has his hands on his head.
"Blademan, are you ok?" Roll questions to Blademan as she now gets to her feet.
Blademan doesn't respond, but continues holding his head.
"Blademan, what are you doing?!" Aaron continues. "Stop slacking off, we have work to do now get with it!"
"Blademan, what's wrong?" Roll questions once more as she begins making her way towards him.
"Don't come near me!" Blademan shouts, stopping Roll dead in her tracks.
"Blademan." Roll whispers.
Blademan now removes his hands from his head as he turns his vision to Roll with his eyes flashing crimson. An evil smile now forms on his lips.
"My apologizes Aaron." Blademan speaks. "I'm on my way."
Blademan's hologram now teleports out of the cyber world.
"Blademan!" Roll shouts. "Blademan, come back!"
The connection has been lost.
Roll now opens her eyes and frantically looks around at her surroundings, noticing she is back in the PET and Blademan is no where in sight.
"Oh no, I lost my connection with Blademan." Roll says as she turns back to the screen of the PET, out towards the battle field. "There has got to be a way that I can get through to Blademan, despite Aaron's interference."
Continuing to try to move his arm, Aaron now moves his arm to his right, discovering that he can move it again. Smirking, Aaron looks down at Lan.
"Now, where were we?" Aaron speaks.
Just as Aaron brings his sword down, Lan now disappears as the sword stabs the ground. Observing the area where the sword landed, Aaron notices Lan isn't there.
"Now where did he go?!" Aaron questions with frustration as he begins looking around the field for Lan. "I can't wait until I finish you off once and for all Hikari!"
Tori
Tori is watching the trio battle in front of him and can feel his blood beginning to boil as his anger levels begins rising. Witnessing Chaud avoid Videoman's video tape roll, Riaka avoid Allergro's eye beams, and Lan reappear, but dodges Aaron's Daemon Orbs, Tori now slants his eyes in anger.
"This has gone on long enough!" Tori speaks in anger. "I can't watch this anymore! Dr. Hikari, give me a synchro chip."
"What did you just ask me?" Dr. Hikari inquires in confusion, now turning to Tori.
"I want a synchro chip." Tori repeats himself as he turns to Dr. Hikari.
"A synchro chip?" Dr. Hikari says in surprise. "Tori, please tell me you're not going to do what I think you're going to do."
"Yep." Tori answers.
"You haven't been properly tested to see if you have that capability." Dr. Hikari replies. "And something could go horrible wrong that could be irreversable. Plus I don't want to be faced with a lawsuit if something does go wrong."
"I can't just sit here and watch my friends fight a loosing battle." Tori says, trying to calm his temper. "They're getting beaten out there."
"Tori, their Net Saviors." Dr. Hikari replies. "They've been trained for this."
"I have to help them!" Tori says with frustration.
Now turning to the dash board of the van, Tori spots a synchro ship. Grabbing it, Tori jumps out of the van and grabs his PET from his shirt pocket.
"Tori, wait, you haven't been properly tested!" Dr. Hikari yells after him.
Bringing the PET and chip into his view, Tori now swallows the lump in his throat.
:::I sure hope this works.::: Tori mentally says to himself. ::::My friends are in trouble and need my help. I can't let them down, so here goes nothing.::::
Inserting the Synchro chip into the PET, tiny data sentences begins scrolling up the screen of the PET.
"Begin Cross-fusion!" Tori shouts.
A bright light now emerges from the screen that completely envelops Tori. The trio battle has now been brought to a stand still as the cross-fusion process continues.
"I'm so going to loose my scientist license for this." Dr. Hikari says with dread, now lowering his head.
The light now disappears and reveals Tori in Iceman cross-fusion form.
Tori is wearing an ice blue colored jump suit with the hood to match, his brown eyes are now blue, he is wearing ice blue colored boots, and ice blue colored gloves with Iceman's symbol on the chest of the armor.
Everyone stares in awe at Tori's new ability.
"He did it!" Dr. Hikari says in surprise with a smile. "He achieved full synchro with Iceman! I'm not going to loose my license!"
Tori has uncovered his new ability to Cross-fuse. Is there hope for Dentech City after all or will Aaron win this battle and ultimately rule Dentech? Keep reading to find out as the conclusion is quickly drawing to a close.
A/N: Ok end of chapter 12 and I hope you all liked it. I'm sorry it's so late. I've had exams back to back and now it's finals time, but here it is. The chamelon chip does belong to me. No flames please and Chapter 13 will be out after my finals are completed, before the new year. At least I hope so anyway. If anything is confusing to you, please let me know and I'll modify it for you.
A/N 2: Now, I've gotten enough responses for Tori not becoming a Net Savior so there will be an alternate ending to this story. Keep your eyes peeled. If nothing else, please review.
Reivew Please!
